DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, May 22, 2002: The Pluralism Project was developed by Diana L Eck at Harvard University to study and document the growing religious diversity of the United States with a special view to its new immigrant religious communities. The affliated Pluralism Project at the University of Michigan-Dearborn is a co-sponsor of the summer seminar “Worldviews: Foundations for Inter-religious Dialogue for Students of Christian Ministry” which will be offered in Detroit/Dearborn June 10-15, 2002. This course will “introduce people engaged in ministry in a multi-religious society to the beliefs and practices of several of the world’s religions.” While geared towards Episcopal clergy and lay leaders, anyone may attend. The Pluralism Project is currently sponsoring “World Religions in Metropolitan Detroit,” an exhibition of 55 photographs presenting the ongoing research of the Pluralism Project and the University. The exhibition shows the diversity of Metropolitan Detroit’s religious landscape and is designed for a general audience. The photographs and text are intended to encourage dialogue and foster a greater sense of community among the residents of Michigan.
