This course prepares students to consider and develop their own place as leaders in the interfaith landscape of the United States. We begin by mapping the interreligious history and landscape of America, exploring some of the world鈥檚 prominent religious traditions through the lives of their practitioners within our own borders--including on-site visits to various communities. We then define the concept of 鈥渋nterfaith leadership鈥 through investigating the work of prominent interfaith leaders in America鈥檚 history. The third portion of the class asks students to consider the role of interfaith cooperation in some of the most prominent social issues of contemporary America. Prerequisite: THRS 117.
