Faith stories explains systems of cultural value that are articulated through faith. Drawing on ethnography, interviews, focus groups for adults and arts workshops for their children, Anna Hickey-Moody examines belonging, attachment, faith, belief and 'what really matters' in diverse areas in England and Australia. Her research finds surprising similarities in how people are connected to daily life through faith, and how others postpone their involvement in the everyday with the hope of being rewarded after death. Children bring together their religious worlds with imagined solutions to everyday problems. Indeed, in their artwork they save the planet from threats of war, climate change and recuperate their geographically divided families, suggesting that other worlds are possible. Their parent's faith shows this too. In such increasingly divided times, work like this is needed now more than ever.

Industry Reviews

'Weaving between disciplines, methods, and interactive practices, Hickey-Moody expertly pulls the reader along several threads of the personal, the communal, the political, and the belief that there is always something more. This is a work that enacts an ethos of radical, collective care, a richly descriptive work that never hides from its readers all of the living and breathing, all of the troubles and joys, of its own making.'
Gregory J. Seigworth, Professor of Communication Studies in the Department of Communication and Theatre at Millersville University
