THE PHILADELPHIA CONSORTIUM ON THE STUDY OF RELIGION
The Philadelphia Consortium on the Study of Religion, organized in
April, 1989, provides an umbrella organization for encouraging and
facilitating cooperation in the academic study of religion among
institutions and departments of religion-- undergraduate, graduate,
seminary, and post-graduate--and their faculty and students. At the
present the Consortium consists of forty-seven institutions within a
hundred mile radius of Philadelphia.
Dr. Robert B. Wright, Chair of the Religion Department, Temple
University, Philadelphia, PA, is the Chair of the Consortium.
Four projects sponsored by the Consortium to date are: a monthly
calendar of special events in Consortium schools; a sharing of graduate
level courses for cross-registration purposes (both of these facilitated
by Temple University); A "Guide to the Libraries of Member
Institutions," produced by Dr. Robert Emmet McLaughlin, Chair of the
Department of Religious Studies, Villanova University.
The fourth project, produced by Dr. Glenn A. Koch, Eastern Baptist
Theological Seminary, is a Directory of 226 faculty, listing personal and
professional facts, including fields of specialization and areas of
research. In addition, the Directory lists the Consortium's statement
of purpose, officers and committees, and member institutions. Printed
directories, as well as electronic forms of it, are available. Contact
Dr. Koch at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, City & Lancaster Aves.,
Philadelphia, PA 19151, for orders (Ph. 215-896-5000). The printed
Directory is $13.00.
For further Consortium information contact Dr. Wright: 617 Anderson
Hall, Philadelphia, PA, 19122 (Ph. 215-787-7923).
