More formal programme plug
Friday December 23, 2005; part of: Journalism

The Analysis programme on American religion goes out next Thursday, 29 December, at 8.30 GMT, and can be heard for a week thereafter by any of this blog's remarkably far-flung readers who have broadband. The cast ranges from a former president of the USA to a current commentator here. We have, in no particular order:

  • Jimmy Carter
  • Joseph Q. Wilson (apparently the man who came up with the slogan Just say No )
  • Professor Nicholas Boyle, the originator of the Transcendental Turkey Baster theory, though the phrase is due to
  • Harriet Baber, philosopher of this parish
  • Joseph Bottum, the editor of First Things magazine
  • The Rev'd Richard Cizik, chief lobbyist for the National Evangelical Association
  • Gordon Atkinson, better known as Real Live Preacher
  • The Rev'd Dr Judith Maltby (American chaplain of an Oxford college)
  • Professor James Morone, historian at Brown University.

People seriously interested in this topic should on no account neglect Clifford Longley's excellent book Chosen People.

Textile formatting works here. Double hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes, quotes are automatically smartened. You can put dashes and asterisks around text to make italics bold and other silly effects easily.
  • Text wrapped in Asterisks which * will be bold. The asterisks must touch each end of the bold text. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Text wrapped in underscores - _ - will be italicised. The underscores must touch each end of the italics. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Paragraphs starting bq. will be block quoted. There must be no space before the "b" and one space after the full stop.
  • A hyperlink is made by wrapping the link text in double quotes, followed immediately by a colon, then the URL. If there is a question mark in the URL, wrap the whole lot in square brackets.
  • I use two classes to mark up text that deserves it. sane text looks like this. loony text looks like that. The syntax for those is %(sane)[space] sane text %; loony is left as an exercise to the reader.
