The American Religion Timeline

Today, I ran across the American Religious Timelines Website.  It is pretty helpful in giving dates and summaries of key events in American Religion.  It was put together as a collaborative effort of graduate students at Duke and the University of North Carolina.  This is more proof that rivals can indeed work together!

You’ll find a fair number of Mormon history and Romans Catholic events posted here.  I was pleased to see Barton Stone, Alexander Campbell, and Cane Ridge made the time line.  Also, you can find information on Buddism in America and lots of other Protestant groups.

There are plenty of interesting facts in the 20th century on the shape of American religion– including links on Demographics in 1990 & 2001.  Enjoy!  –JF
