Ep 05 - PARTY meets PRAYER at Burning Man

David Boyer
/
KALW
Jesus and the Rainbow flag at Burning Man.

Burning Man is pagan at its core with a hell-ish aesthetic. It's understandable that many evangelical leaders condemn the event. But why do so many devout Christians attend each year? And what do they do once they're there? In this episode of THE INTERSECTION at Burning Man, we meet the priests and apostles of Religous AF camp, who are on a mission to help other Burners heal their spiritual wounds.

"I think Jesus would have been a Burner." - Annie Dunlop, co-leader of Religious AF camp

THE INTERSECTION looks at changing cities through physical intersections. This time we’re doing something different: The city is temporary and the intersections are conceptual. We’re going to a remote corner of Nevada for Burning Man

THE INTERSECTION is a co-production of David Boyer and KALW. 

Jonathan Davis is the associate producer. This episode was edited by Ben Trefny. And engineered for your listening pleasure by Gabe Grabin with music from Erik Pearson and Blue Dot Sessions.
