Can religion change the world? When it comes to Christianity, culture watcher James Hunter says no... and yes.
"No" - if Christians across the political spectrum keep doing what they've been doing. [But maybe] "Yes" - if they’re willing to re-think what it means to be a Christian.

| WMRA and WEMC are committed to fostering informed, engaged and culturally enriched communities...with your help. |
 We're experimenting on WEMC with "No-fundraiser" fundraising. Rather than a long, traditional fundraiser this fall, we're asking for your support with occasional brief messages. Will it work? If you participate, it just might! Click above to contribute. And if you give $100 or more, you can request "Robert Shaw: Master of the First Art, Vol. 2."
At Public Media Travel, book flights, hotels, tours and cruises, and buy travel-related merchandise, with a portion of your purchase supporting WMRA/WEMC. We partner with Travelocity, Hotels.com, Adventures Abroad, Eastern Mountain Sports, National Geographic Store and more.
Station supporters can get the password by emailing wmra@jmu.edu.
 Find playlists for our music shows by mousing over "Programs" above. The lists have links to Amazon.com for purchasing the music (or anything else) while supporting WMRA/WEMC. Or click here to go directly to Amazon.

Saturday, September 4th at 4pm, BackStory presents Looking for Work: A History of Unemployment.
Three years into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, almost 1 in 10 Americans is out-of-work. In many parts of the country, the situation is even worse. On this special Labor Day edition of BackStory, the History Guys take on the history of joblessness, and explore what it has meant for previous generations of Americans.
How has the changing nature of employment shaped the experience of not having a job? Have the moral connotations of work evolved? Are people more or less attached to their professions than they used to be?
