Windows on Culture

Abstract

The Polis Center has produced a six-part video series, Religion as a Window on Culture, that takes us "inside" various religions in Indianapolis. The impulse to religion is nearly universal. The videos suggest that what seems strange in another culture may, on closer examination, resolve into something very familiar. While the ideas may be expressed in different ways, most religions locate the sacred in time, in space, in memory, and in the journey toward the sacred.
