Religion and spirituality is the theme of the new ReVista, with its formal launch April 1. Covering a wide range of themes from a changing Catholicism to Evangelical political power to Afro-Latino Religions and indigenous religions in the contact zones, ReVista authors will discuss the issues in a forum and take questions from the public.
