Texas Newspaper Encourages Diversity with Blogs

MIDLAND, TEXAS, USA, July 26, 2009: “If your parents ever advised you to avoid conversations about religion and politics, well, I hope you didn’t listen to them” is what a witty advertisement for the My West Texas, a newspaper, says. Intent on engaging the diverse local community, it created a religion page on its website to ” give our readers and community members the space and resources to engage in healthy and educational discussions about religion, spirituality and cultural traditions. This provides an excellent opportunity to learn from each other.”

The religion bloggers are, so far, the Hindu Association of West Texas (link at source above); Mark Dean, a Christian Minister and Rev. Kathryn Boren of the Methodist Church.

As the staff of My West Texas puts it, “People — maybe even dinner guests — can, in fact, engage in religious and political discussions and walk away unharmed.”
