CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF
RELIGION IN AMERICAN LIFE
The Center for the Study
of Religion in American Life, housed within the Department of Comparative
Religion, seeks to support the work of the department and to relate that
work to the areas of business, the health professions, the media, etc. It
does so by sponsoring conferences, promoting research--especially in the
area of interfaith relations--and preserving archival materials related to
religious communities in Southern California whose numbers are
diminishing. A council of Business and Academic Advisers meets regularly
to provide direction, advice, and intellectual and financial support to
the center.
The center's director is Dr. James A. Santucci,
chair of the Department of Comparative Religion. |
