“The Profession” profiles scholars with a background in Religious Studies who have employed their training in compelling ways in, around, and outside of the academy. Brian Carwana works as the Executive Director of the Encounter World Religions Centre in Toronto, Canada. From working in venture capital, to studying to be a history teacher, to ultimately earning a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto, Carwana’s story shows how a non-traditional academic career path led to him being a non-traditional academic. Carwana leads groups of participants through content and theory classes, takes them to site visits across Toronto, and works to promote religious literacy through his programming.

The Department takes a look at how academic programs in our field adapt to the changing landscape of higher education. In this edition, Carl Raschke shares how and why the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Denver developed a remote option for their M.A. program. The “Z”- Option, as they call it, addresses social, cultural, and economic trends in U.S. universities with a forward-thinking and researched proposal that should be on your radar.

The January 6, 2020 insurrection at the United States Capitol Building confirmed and challenged many people’s assumptions about how religion functions in society. As the events of that day continue to be reviewed by government officials, scholars, and public audiences, the Uncivil Religion Project has become an invaluable resource in those endeavors. Spearheaded by Prof. Mike Altman at the University of Alabama and Jerome Copulsky and Peter Manseau from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the collaborative web project is both a media-rich digital archive and scholarly anthology on this pivotal historical moment. Altman led a team of graduate students in the University of Alabama’s Religion in Culture MA program in the development of the site. Bulletin editorial assistant Erica Bennet interviewed Ciara Eichorst, Katie Johnson, and Phoebe Duke-Mosier to learn how this project not only took shape, but also impacted their education in the academic study of religion.

The CSR Bulletin and CSSR Bulletin of the 1980s continued to press the case for a publication in tune with the various offices where scholars carry out their work. Some of the pieces will quickly strike readers as being very much of their time; others, especially prescient. In this fiftieth anniversary issue, we present a piece that may accomplish both. This 1984 piece by Robert A. Kraft is one of the earliest essays in the field on the role computers do and can play in religious studies scholarship. In many ways, “In Quest of Computer Literacy” is the spiritual predecessor to Kraft’s later CSSR Bulletin column, Offline, and today’s Bulletin feature, The Download. Later in this issue, Jeri Wieringa shares with us her reflections on the ideas Kraft has laid out here.
20世纪80年代的《企业社会责任公报》和《社会科学与社会科学公报》继续推动与学者开展工作的各个办公室协调一致的出版物。有些文章会很快打动读者，因为他们花了很多时间;其他人，尤其有先见之明。在这一期五十周年纪念中，我们提出了一篇可以实现这两个目标的文章。罗伯特·a·克拉夫特(Robert A. Kraft)在1984年发表的这篇文章是该领域最早的关于计算机在宗教研究学术中所扮演和能够扮演的角色的文章之一。在许多方面，“追求计算机素养”是卡夫后来的CSSR公告专栏“离线”和今天的公告特色“下载”的精神前身。在本期稍后的文章中，Jeri Wieringa与我们分享了她对卡夫在这里提出的想法的看法。

Beginning in 2020, the Bulletin feature known as The Download has been readers’ guide to the increasingly digital study of religion. For this issue, editorial assistant Emma Welch sat down with The Download’s Jeri Wieringa to discuss Robert A. Kraft’s “In Quest of Computer Literacy” and the legacy of the Bulletin series, Offline. Wieringa remarks on how the concept of computer literacy has evolved as a result of technological advancements and notes the subsequent challenges present in this new digital age.

Congratulations to the Bulletin for the Study of Religion, which has reached the golden age when it can join AARP! This used to stand for the American Association of Retired Persons, but now it is just the noise you make to let someone know you are in need of the Heimlich Maneuver. But I digress. I, Alumno Sinllanto, have been invited to participate in the celebration of this auspicious milestone as the chief, and indeed only, student of one of the Bulletin’s most influential contributors, Reed M. N. Weep. In columns published between 1997 and 2011, Professor Weep exposed the craven lies that we tell ourselves in the academic study of religion, and he told a few jokes. With his mysterious disappearance in 2011, a unique voice was silenced. In fact, a grand total of two readers have told me that his column was the first thing they turned to in the Bulletin, which was 100 per cent of that periodical’s subscriber base at the time. Those readers, if they are still alive themselves, will be happy to learn that Professor Weep’s voice actually has not quite been silenced. As a graduate assistant at a large mid-western university, along with the menial and demeaning tasks I was usually assigned, I was given the high honor by the department chair of organizing the papers in Professor Weep’s office after he had absconded. I believe his exact words were “Get rid of this worthless crap.” Little did he know that in the “worthless crap” I would find a valuable gem, a never before published column by the man himself. Professor Weep told me that, when he was in graduate school, a musicology student discovered a previously unknown piano concerto by Franz Liszt, which was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. “Those of us who claimed in our dissertations to have found something new,” the story concluded, “were toast.” Now, I, Alumno Sinllanto, find myself in the same enviable position as that musicologist: You grad students can eat your hearts out. Below the column is reproduced in its entirety, unchanged except for normalizing the spelling for the modern reader.
祝贺《宗教研究公报》，它已经到了可以加入美国退休人员协会的黄金时代!这曾经代表美国退休人员协会，但现在只是你发出的声音，让别人知道你需要海姆利克急救法。但我离题了。我，校友Sinllanto，受邀作为《公报》最有影响力的撰稿人之一Reed M. N. Weep的首席，也是唯一的学生，参加这一吉祥里程碑的庆祝活动。在1997年至2011年期间发表的专栏文章中，韦普教授揭露了我们在宗教学术研究中对自己说的懦弱的谎言，他还讲了几个笑话。随着他在2011年的神秘失踪，一个独特的声音被沉默了。事实上，总共有两位读者告诉我，他的专栏是他们在《公报》上看的第一篇文章，当时《公报》的订阅者100%都是他的专栏。这些读者，如果他们自己还活着的话，会很高兴地得知韦普教授的声音实际上并没有完全消失。作为中西部一所大型大学的研究生助理，除了平时分配给我的那些卑贱的任务外，系主任还授予我在韦普教授潜逃后到他办公室整理论文的崇高荣誉。我相信他的原话是"扔掉这些没用的垃圾"他一点也不知道，在这些“毫无价值的废话”中，我会发现一颗珍贵的宝石，一篇他本人从未发表过的专栏文章。韦普教授告诉我，在他读研究生的时候，一名音乐学学生发现了弗朗兹·李斯特(Franz Liszt)一首此前不为人知的钢琴协奏曲，由芝加哥交响乐团(Chicago Symphony Orchestra)首演。“我们这些在论文中声称发现了新东西的人，”故事总结道，“完蛋了。”现在，我，校友Sinllanto，发现自己处于和那位音乐学家一样令人羡慕的境地:你们这些研究生可以吃得心酸。下面的专栏全文转载，除了为现代读者规范拼写外，没有任何改变。

This short essay critically engages Claude Welch's Graduate Education in Religion (1971). For Welch the central challenge for the field of religious studies was to establish its “identity” in a post-Schempp world, referring to the landmark 1963 Supreme Court case that endorsed the study of religion in U.S. higher education. Now the study of religion is firmly established in universities as part of the humanities. As such religion departments should respond to the broader crisis in the humanities. This article lays out some provisional recommendations, as Welch did in the early 70s.
