Build Religious Literacy

In this multi-session, interactive community experience, participants learn more deeply about the lived experience of different faith traditions. Each week features independent study assignments, learning from people who practice their faith in a living library, and time for discussion and integration.

What You'll Learn:

This program focuses on the personal, lived faith experiences of the presenters. Topics include central faith practices, core stories, concepts of the Divine, sacred texts, major holidays, and helpful sensitivities and awareness.

Why Join Us?

Developing a rich understanding of the diverse ways people identify around religion helps us become more effective leaders, facilitators, and participants in all walks of life. The way people orient around religion has a strong influence on the way they live. Expanding religious literacy helps people better understand others in their neighborhoods, work, communities, and beyond. By understanding other traditions, participants learn more about their own faith. In connecting with the lived experience of other faiths, participants are more able to skillfully show up as friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Past Participants

This program has been offered in corporate, educational, and government settings in such industries as law, healthcare, professional organizations, and religious institutions. It can be customized for both adult and youth settings.

As a Family Court volunteer, I work with people from diverse religious backgrounds. This series deepened my understanding and gave me tools to address prejudice and misconceptions. I now feel more confident navigating these situations.
Past Participant
I was deeply moved by the 'living library' participants who exhibited ways that their faith is integrated into the wholeness of their lives and not just checked at the door.
