World Religions & Global Cultures Center
Our Purpose
The Campbell University Divinity School World Religions and Global Cultures Center seeks to enhance students’ understanding of other cultures and religious beliefs. The center offers courses in world religions and world cultures for divinity students, as well as workshops and speaking opportunities for students, ministers, and religious leaders. By expanding the education and understanding of other faiths, the Center seeks to enable others to reach out and share the good news with religious neighbors.
Teacher-Training Program
A major purpose of the Center is to share information about various religions with local churches. The Center has initiated a Certificate program in which students and others may qualify to teach and train church groups in various religions and cultures. The center maintains a list of certified teachers-trainers. At present there are eighteen students qualified. The Center will be pleased to provide information to assist you in scheduling these teachers-trainers as well as to give you information on how others may qualify for the Certificate. For more information, contact the Center at 800.760.9827, ext. 1506 or 893-1506.
