SWAJ Rewind: It's In the Code 115: "Strong Handshakes"

With Dan on vacation, we bring you one of the most popular episodes of It's In the Code: "Strong Handshakes"

In this episode, Dan continues decoding a card from a church bulletin that outlines the features of a particular church. The focus this time is the promise of “strong handshakes.” There’s a lot to decode with this idea: What does it express about gender? About sexuality? About the family? About this church’s view of proper social order? Check it out to find the answers to these (and other!) questions.
