Promoting understanding across groups

Our work promotes civic religious literacy – a framework and lens to better understand religious, spiritual, and secular people we work, live and engage with

We work across all sectors and age groups to help people apply religious literacy skills in personal, professional, and community spaces.

CCRL Chats

Each month, CCRL Chats will be an opportunity to hear updates about a current or past project, discuss big topics, or learn from a team member’s specialized research area. We will discuss questions like:

What is CCRL doing these days?
How is religious literacy applied or relevant in this project?
What is our impact?
What is on the horizon?

Join us for a time of conversation and a chance to learn from each other.

To learn about upcoming sessions, subscribe to our newsletter.

If there is a topic or project that you would like to learn more about at an upcoming CCRL Chats, just let us know.

Testimonials

“Currently my work environment has expanded to include people of many different faiths and beliefs. This is a change from my historical working career. This course provided an avenue to explore how to engage with others about their beliefs. The course framework shows how to build discussions and accommodations for individuals of different faiths in the work environment. This base provides me with tools to understand my coworkers better, leading to more effective communication, and a harmonious workplace.”
