Center for Faith and Learning

Welcome to the Center for Faith and Learning

More and more, Christian educators are asking how Christian perspectives might inform both their written and creative scholarship and their classroom teaching.

The Pepperdine University Center for Faith and Learning grounds its work in the mission of Pepperdine University as it seeks to enhance the connections between classroom teaching, scholarship, and Christian faith and practice. We are located at Tyler Campus Center 106. 

Upcoming Events

 

Surveying Sacred Space: An Interdisciplinary, Interfaith Symposium

 

The Center for Faith and Learning, in conjunction with the ISL Division, Office of the Associate Provost for Research, and Office of Intercultural Affairs invites Pepperdine faculty and students to participate in "Surveying Sacred Space: An Interdisciplinary, Interfaith Symposium." This two-day event involves seven scholars of sacred space from various universities who have come to Pepperdine to participate in five panel discussions  with the goal of engaging and collaborating with faculty and students on topics dealing with space, place, and religious meaning in Abrahamic religions and other faith traditions.

In these panel discussions, Pepperdine faculty and students will partner with these seven specialist scholars to provide a forum for examining theories, research methods, current events, and sites of communal tension and collaboration. Audience members will also have a chance to participate in the discussions.
