520 |a This article argues that the Christian/Feminist conference RE-Imagining and its attendant publicity were a watershed event for contemporary American religion. An analysis of the controversy surrounding it highlights the degree to which the mediated symbolic environment now controls or conditions the practices, prospects, and prerogatives of religion. Challenging the view that the matter can be explained by the fact that religious conservatives were simply better at generating publicity than liberals, the article argues that the event owed its newsworthiness to the correspondence between its aftermath and a larger social drama (using Victor Turner's framework), thus making for a dramatic and engaging news story. Because much of the struggle over the event has taken place through the mediated public sphere, resolution of these struggles must be a public and symbolic resolution as well as a personal and institutional one.
