Sharlet: I’m a finalist in the national reporting category for the $10,000 Livingston Award for journalists under 35, for “Soldiers of Christ: Inside America’s Most Powerful Megachurch,” in Harper’s. I’m delighted to see that Matt Power is also a finalist — I think for his Harper’s story on the attempt to reconstruct the Buddhas of Bamiyan, destroyed by the Taliban (pdf), and I’m also delighted that it’d be in a different category, international reporting, since it was one of my favorite religion stories of last year.
