My article "Sounding the Voice of Tolerance" was released today by the journal Material Religion! Thanks to everyone who helped get it there, especially the Orò Grove of Ọba Akambi (Igbórò Ọba Akambi) in Pobè, Bénin.

Signed up for Twitter to find information about Futaba-machi, Fukushima. Aside from the nuclear plant, I'm having trouble finding any info.
