Nouns which suggest that things are finished and uniform are to be avoided as much as possible. These run the risk of getting the stamp “essentialistic”, which is one of the Deadly Sins in writing anthropological. For the anthropologist everything is complex and in flux from one state to another. Therefore, if applicable, try to rewrite your nouns into gerunds (usu. words ending on -ing).
Examples:
politics = politicizing
religion = religioning
See Tweed’s Crossing and Dwelling. A Theory of Religions for an excellent argument on the use of gerunds.

Gerardo Marti, author of A Mosaic of Believers and Hollywood Faith, and upcoming recognized expert on all things evangelical has started a weblog. Gerardo once confided to me he had been an evangelical pastor (in the church he describes in Mosaic) and had read several European theologians like Karl Barth and Bonhoeffer — that alone would have triggered my interest in his weblog, but he also happens to be an an excellent sociologist of religion. So this is a must follow.

I’m half way the Calvin College seminar program “Congregations and religious diversity in contemporary America” led by Stephen Warner. And because tomorrow will be the fourth of July — we have a few days off! OMG, I feel like a student again. It’s time for some procrastination.
Het lege land
waar keien schuilen
in een grijze waas
en mossig groen.
Het zwarte land
waar een poel de grond
herschept tot aardse
hemelspiegel.
Het moederland
herbergt haar dochter
in witte lakens
en mat beton.
Haar oude land
beklijft in zwart – wit,
in nachten vol van
herinnering.
Haar nieuwe land
tekent zich af in
felle kleuren, een
regenboog
van een kind.
My dad recently won the Frisian chess championship for seniors (60+). In his younger years he unsuccessfully tried his hand before, but now he has won convincingly with six points out of seven. He acts like winning the championship is nothing, but we, his family, are very proud!
