In October
of 2002, the Center hosted a conference in Indianapolis for centers and institutes
dedicated to studying religion in America. The directors of 30 different organizations
came together to discuss common goals, problems, solutions, and possible joint
projects. The Center has continued to promote their work with a reception it hosts
each year at the meetings of the AAR/SBL, and with the Centers and Institutes
Project booklet, which is revised and updated annually. To receive a copy of
the booklet, which presently includes information
about over 30 centers and institutes studying religion in the U.S., please contact the Center.
