the terms of faith with Mike Rusch (ep 3, 03).

Before Season 3 moves further into the faith of Northwest Arkansas, this interstitial pause defines the five words the season is built on faith, religion, theology, church, and ideology and asks what happens when their differences are not fully understood. Faith is interior, personal, not available for public examination. Religion is what a tradition carries across generations. Theology is the public reasoning that tradition does about the sacred. Church, or synagogue, or temple, or mosque, is what an institution does in a particular place, with real power to welcome, to exclude, to bless, to bury, to speak, and to be silent. And ideology is a political orientation toward how the world should be ordered, which in our time and place has become very good at borrowing the language of the other four.
