Kinfolk 55 宗教特輯：你信仰什麼？

不論你對宗教有什麼看法，它至今仍深刻地影響著我們的文化、社群與城市建構。本期《Kinfolk》聚焦於信仰如何支撐社會，並觸及人們生活的各種面向。

我們花了數個月的時間，記錄了一座位於丹麥、全新路德教堂的興建過程。考量到建築能長久使用，當地教區邀請了丹麥最具代表性的建築師與設計師，共同思索基督信仰該如何走向未來。

此外，我們也對基督教的歷史進行深入探討——專訪公共神學家 Ekemini Uwan，她致力於讓教會正視其在歷史上與種族暴力之間的勾連；走訪來自大西洋兩岸的兩對猶太創業者：創辦猶太飲食與旅遊雜誌《Fleishigs》的 Klein 家族；以及創立「Miknaf Ha’aretz」社群、關注猶太土地正義議題的 Sara Moon 和 Samson Hart。

此外，我們也專訪了演員、編劇與導演 Ramy Youssef，他的作品為穆斯林美國人的敘事注入了幽默而細膩的視角。我們也訪談了已故的超現實電影導演 David Lynch，他自 1973 年起每天練習兩次超覺靜坐。他曾以這句話來總結他的信念：「一切的關鍵在於——它有讓你感覺更好嗎？它改變了你的生命嗎？」

自 2011 年創刊以來，《Kinfolk》在藝術與文化、設計與美學、建築以及居家空間領域中奠定了領導地位。我們的季刊生活風格雜誌目前在全球 100 多個國家發行，以三種語言出版，是理想的咖啡桌雜誌，也很適合當作送給創意人士的禮物。內容涵蓋激發靈感的攝影、時尚與風格，以及對慢活的探索。《Kinfolk》致力於提升生活品質，連結廣大創意思想社群。


Whatever you think about religion, it continues to shape our cultures, communities and cities. This issue of Kinfolk takes a look at just some of the ways in which faith undergirds society and touches people's lives. Over the course of several months, we documented the construction of a new Lutheran church in Denmark. Mindful of the building's longevity, the local parish asked some of the nation's biggest architects and designers to rethink how Christianity might be carried into the future. Elsewhere, Christianity's history comes under scrutiny--we speak to Ekemini Uwan, the public theologian holding the Christian church accountable for its complicity in racial violence over the centuries. We also meet two Jewish duos from opposite sides of the Atlantic: the Kleins, creators of the kosher food and travel magazine Fleishigs, and Sara Moon and Samson Hart, founders of Miknaf Ha'aretz, a community focused on Jewish land justice. Elsewhere, we meet Ramy Youssef, the actor, screenwriter and director extraordinaire whose work is giving comedic nuance to the Muslim American narrative. And we interviewed the late surrealist film director David Lynch, who practiced Transcendental Meditation twice a day since 1973. The words by which he lived: "The key to all of it is, Does it make you feel better? Does it change your life?" Since 2011 Kinfolk has established itself as a leader in art and culture, design and aesthetics, architecture, and homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers
