Washington University Creates New Center on Religion & Politics

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Washington University (St. Louis) yesterday announced the establishment of the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics. The Center is funded by a $30 million endowment gift from the Danforth Foundation. John C. Danforth served as U.S. Senator from Missouri for 18 years. Speaking at the National Press Club yesterday, University Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton said that the new Center "will serve as an ideologically neutral place that will foster rigorous, unbiased scholarship and encourage conversations between diverse and even conflicting points of view." He said the Center will serve as abridge between the religious and political communities. A link to the Center's website has been added to the Religion Clause sidebar listings of Academic Centers.
