The Center on Religion & the Professions works to improve the religious literacy of professionals, to help them serve a diverse public.
We help professionals better understand religion in the lives of those they serve by:
• Supporting ground-breaking research
on how religion impacts people and encouraging its use by the appropriate
professionals;
• Creating resources and training
to improve the religious literacies among professionals;
• Developing and testing curriculum
in religion for all disciplines;
• Presenting public forums
and other activities to increase the visibility of religion in the public sphere.
