Local Religion Project

LRP assists faculty in designing courses and assignments that engage students with local religious communities. The Project also provides a place for students to post the result of their research.

Entirely new courses have been created, e.g., Religions@Silicon Valley in 2006, or Catholics Worlds of the Valley in 2007; and existing courses, e.g., Science vs. the Bible: the Genesis Debates have added projects in which students document how what they read in the class texts plays out in local communities.  LRP is developing grant proposals seeking foundation and government support to develop LRP?s resources and curriculum work.
