Drake University’s The Comparison Project, in conjunction with the Iowa Interfaith Exchange, will host Roads to Religion on Feb. 15 from 3–5 p.m. in the Olmsted Center on Drake University’s campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Roads to Religion will feature dozens of local religious communities, collectively representing more than 10 religious (and spiritual) traditions. These communities will be arranged throughout the hall as on a map of the metro. Visitors will receive a map to guide their exploration. Musical and cultural performances by several of the participating communities will also be performed. Food and drink will be provided by Drake University’s catering service.
The Comparison Project engages in the practice of comparative philosophy of religion, increases understanding of local-lived religion, and cultivates interfaith literacy and leadership. It is supported by Drake’s Center for the Humanities, Drake’s Stringfellow and Hay Lectureships, Drake’s Slay Fund for Social Justice, Drake’s Principal Cener for Global Citizenship, Humanities Iowa, and Cultivating Compassion: The Dr. Richard Deming Foundation.
The Iowa Interfaith Exchange includes Drake University’s The Comparison Project along with CultureALL, the Des Moines Area Religious Council, and Interfaith Alliance of Iowa.
