The Lotto and the Lord: Religious Influences on the Adoption of a Lottery in South Carolina

On November 7, 2000, despite the ardent pleas of clergy from across the spectrum of religious traditions, South Carolina voters repealed a constitutional amendment to pave the way for a state lottery. In a state known for intense evangelical religiosity, this outcome raises several important questions about the political influence of religion and religious leaders. In this article we offer a history of the religious aspects of the lottery debate in South Carolina and an empirical look at the relationships between religious factors and support for the lottery among South Carolina voters. Specifically, we explore the extent to which involvement in evangelical Protestantism, political salience of religion, and clergy cues affected public support for a state lottery Data for the empirical analysis are drawn from an October 3, 2000 poll of 450 South Carolinians who had voted in two previous elections.

Intercultural education through music: towards a culture of tolerance

A UNESCO Commission reported that many conflicts originate from cultural incompatibility. One of the four principles drawn up in Chicago (1993) by leaders of the world's religions was that people must commit themselves to a culture of tolerance. Such a commitment would improve our capacity to move towards greater understanding. Wide ranging views of recognized educators and ethnomusicologists lend support to the notion that increased comprehension, sensibility, even unity, is derived from intercultural education through music.

Walking on Thorns

A world without war, a world at peace, has long haunted the thoughts of man. High among those who have brought the concept to the level of a conscious dream are leaders of the world's religions. Within the last decade there has developed around the globe, slowly and arduously, a network of religious leaders Whose declared purpose is to bring reality closer to that dream. The World Conference on Religion and Peace, the formal name of this network, has now held two world conferences, the first in Kyoto in 1970, the second in August of this year in Louvain, Belgium.

Gabriel Nattau's Soul Speaks

tana.1 Driven back to the west, no doubt by powerful Blackfeet, they retreated into their mountainous valleys, hunted buffalo on the Plains when they dared, traded their buffalo products with their friends and allies to the west-the Nez Perce, the Colville, and the Coeur d'Alene-and lived peaceful and quiet lives. One of these eastern Salishian tribes, the Flathead-Salish, share with their Nez Perce allies the distinction of seeking Christianity. Beginning in 1832 four delegations from these two tribes crossed the mountains and plains in an attempt to reach St. Louis and bring back leaders of the white man's religion.2 Whether the knowledge of the Black Robes came from the Iroquois whom the Hudson's Bay Company3 brought west to teach the Indians to trap beaver, or from the fact that the Anglican Church had an established mission in the Red River Valley where several Nez Perce and Spokane boys had been educated,4 is immaterial. The important thing to remember is that these western Plateau Indians heard about the religion of the whites and sought teachers.
