The Revealer: A Daily Review of Religion & the Press.
“…a daily review of religion in the news and the news about religion. Nonsectarian, nonpartisan, no punches pulled…We begin with three basic premises: 1. Belief matters,
whether or not you believe. Politics, pop culture, high art, NASCAR -- everything in this world is infused with concerns about the next. As journalists, as scholars, and
as ordinary folks, we cannot afford to ignore the role of religious belief in shaping our lives. 2. The press all too frequently fails to acknowledge religion, categorizing
it as either innocuous spirituality or dangerous fanaticism, when more often it's both and inbetween and just plain other. 3. We deserve and need better coverage of
religion. Sharper thinking. Deeper history. Thicker description. Basic theology. Real storytelling.”

“…somewhere between a Zen koan and a Victorian love story, Devotional Cinema makes the case for mindful viewing as a transcendent experience…Dorsky reflects upon
the role of filmmaking in faith, prayer, pleasure, and the renewal of the human spirit. For Dorsky, the material nature of film illuminates a path to devotion…
The crux of his discussion is a nuanced understanding of ‘devotion’ not as an experience specific to religion but rather as "the opening or the interruption
that allows us to experience what is hidden and accept with our hearts our given situation." From: Kathleen Tyner,
