Church in Space

The place where religion and sci-fi meet.

Author: relchilliard

A pastor, a Trekker, and a Star Wars fan walk into a recording session... Thats the set-up for this series which explores the intersection of religion and science fiction. The three hosts -- Drew, Dan, and Pastor Dave -- discuss a particular theological topic as it morphs through the sci fi realm. Well, Pastor Dave tries to keep Drew and Dan focused on one particular topic. He really tries. Their mothers should have warned him.

Episode 44: The Jedi - Religion, Cult, or Parlor Trick?
Episode 44
Thursday, 1 February, 2024

In which the 3-Ds finally realize that a podcast about science fiction and religion should talk about the Jedi in Star Wars. Is following the Force a religion? A cult? Or just magic tricksters? And how would that answer apply to the Sith? Is the Force a farce? From Shaolin monks to Medieval battle bishops, human history has plenty of priestly warriors. Listen in to determine if the 3-Ds have an answer. But don't get your hopes up. ------------- For more of our shenanigans, be sure to follow us on Twitter!
