[Conciliar Press] 10 July 2007--This extended version of AGAIN's recent interview with Terry Mattingly is brought to you exclusively on www.conciliarpress.com. An edited version appears in AGAIN Vol. 29 #2, Summer 2007, in the issue Faith of Our Fathers: The Encounter of Orthodoxy and Anglicanism.

Terry Mattingly (http://www.tmatt.net/) wears several different hats on a daily basis, all of them linked to religion and the mainstream news media. As a professor, he directs the Washington Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities; as a journalist, he writes the weekly "On Religion" column for the Scripps Howard News Service and serves as the editor of the GetReligion.org project to study religion-news coverage in mainstream media.

Mattingly double-majored in journalism and history at Baylor University and then earned an M.A. at Baylor in Church-State Studies and an M.S. in Communications at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. He is a prodigal Texan who has never met a mountain he didn't love. He is a music fanatic whose interests range from Celtic acoustic guitar to Russian chant. His wife, Debra Bridges Mattingly, is a librarian in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. They have two children, 20-year-old Sarah Jeanne and 15-year-old Frye Lewis. The Mattinglys are members of Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Linthicum, Maryland.
