"Faith and Knowledge: Latter-day Saints in Religious Studies"
A Conference for LDS Graduate Students in Religion Harvard Divinity School, February 2009

The audience and participants for this conference will be primarily LDS graduate students studying in divinity schools, Religious Studies programs or who are pursuing other disciplines relevant to Mormon thought, doctrine and scholarship.

This conference will be a forum for discussion of issues relating to Mormon doctrine, culture and scholarship that arise while pursuing graduate studies in religion. It will be an open forum where students of divergent points of view will be free to express their concerns, questions, and thoughts and report their progress in reaching productive outcomes. We anticipate raising questions of how religious studies may enrich, while challenging, our faith as Latter-day Saints, and what can we bring to the issues under debate in religious scholarship.
