Ponderings on a Faith Journey: Penitents Compete and the Future of Turkish Secularism
"Penitents Compete and the Future of Turkish Secularism
Turkey is an interesting country -- religiously. It is a secular Muslim country. Religion is tightly controlled by the state. There have been rumbles lately, in part from those who not only want the controls to be loosened, but who want Islam to have a greater role in society. At the very least there are those who wish to have the freedom to wear religiously defined clothing/accessories. The Eastern Orthodox Church, would like some freedom to train priests, etc."

The press is the nation's shared voice. It is an innovator, a school and a power in itself.
