Seminar to study religious import of secular music
Star report

Contemporary Christian music may not always be the best place to go for deep theological ideas. The seemingly secular music of Kanye West, U2 and Madonna could be saying more about God than is apparent.
That’s the premise of the next Butler University Seminar on Religion and World Civilization at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 at Clowes Hall, 4600 Sunset Ave.

Admission is free.
Christian songwriter and producer Gloria Gaither and University of Tennesee sociologist of religion Mark Hulsether will speak and take questions from the audience.

The seminar is part of a yearlong exploration of the role of religion in diverse media.

Additional seminars will look at religion journalism in the Middle East and the role of religion in contemporary film.

The series is presented by Butler’s Center for Faith and Vocation.
