The World Religions & Spirituality Project
The mission of the World Religions &Spirituality Project is to provide objective,
reliable and comprehensive information about the diverse array of
religious and spiritual groups currently found in North America. The
central feature of the WRSP website is, therefore, profiles of
contemporary religious and spiritual movements, established world
religions, and historical religious and spiritual movements. Each
profile includes a presentation of the group's distinctive beliefs,
rituals, organization and leadership, and issues/challenges. Particularly with respect to newer groups, reliable
information often is less accessible, and this website offers
comprehensive, balanced information for religion scholars, students,
media representatives and those with a personal interest in
understanding the diversity of religious and spiritual alternatives
in the contemporary world. In addition to the text-based group
profiles, video clips and scholarly resources accompany the
profiles.
WRSP profiles currently can be searched alphabetically. Additional types of indexing will be added to the site.
New and updated profiles are listed on the profile index page.
