Faith, fraternity and the Orange Order, with Joe Webster
Manage episode 278957862 series 2824904
Anthropologist Joe Webster discusses his research amongst Protestant groups in Scotland, from Brethren fishermen to the sometimes-controversial Orange Order. We talk about apocalypse and conspiracy, faith and fraternity, hate and masculinity – and why it's vital to listen to others, even if we don’t always like what we find.
For fans of Louis Theroux and Clifford Geertz alike. A conversation on ethics and representation, listening, community and more. Podcast listeners can get a year's subscription to New Humanist magazine for just £13.50. Head to newhumanist.org.uk/subscribe and enter the code WITHREASON
