These grants from the Metanexus Institute are supported by generous
funding from the John Templeton
Foundation to help develop a new
interdisciplinary field of "Spiritual Capital" research. The Spiritual
Capital Research Program is designed to
fund innovative research that could lead to new understandings
of religion's
role in economic, social and political life. As with the Spiritual Capital Research
Program's initial
grants, awarded in 2005, the results of this new research will be disseminated
through scholarly and lay publications, conferences, speaking engagements and
websites.
In spring 2005, three scholars each received founding grants of $500,000
