Denominational leaders, policymakers, scholars, media, clergy, and lay advocates will hear presentations of rigorous research commissioned by Princeton University s Center for the Study of Religion. Research presentations and workshops will explore what has worked, and what will work, for the mainline institutions in the political context of 2001. A full day of presentations on March 16th features Professor Robert Wuthnow, director of the Center for the Study of Religion, clergy and lay activists, and perspectives from outside the mainline traditions. The conference concludes with morning workshops and a luncheon panel on Saturday. The meeting is sponsored by the Pew Charitable Trusts through the project on The Public Role of Mainline Protestantism at the Center for the Study of Religion and through the Aspen Institute s Democracy and Citizenship Program.
