Clinical sociologist here, though I am now leading a faith-based graduate school of social research -- our graduates are almost exclusively scholar-practitioners, out there leading constructive social change!

Helpful! You might include Merton's Middle Range at the meso level to moderate sociological theory and empirical sociology. Thanks for sharing.

Sober interview. Thanks for your work -- much more for us to do! 👏

I will be forever grateful for your adaptation; your artistic and aesthetic choices (not to mention the voice cast) will always be the most Tolkien to me. Thank you, Ralph!

Clever!

Great to see you on here, Adrian! Welcome!

Done. Thank you!

It was a different time. Post-war denominations were at their peak of social influence and bureaucratic bloat. Berger's concern about loss of credibility was prescient, but I wonder how he would treat today's de-centralized religious movements fueled more by social media and disinformation? Cynical?

Well-articulated, Andy. I don't know that it's a clean bifurcation between liberal vs. conservative, but perhaps the migration is more about a desire for a detox from algorithmic feeds, rampant bots and trolls, etc. I agree that it would be unfortunate to further silo good actors between platforms.

I agree. Though there was social upheaval, there was were also breakthroughs in social justice.

Thanks! What do you think about the rank of the 60s?
