The Revolutionary Religion Digital Resource Guide

Earlier this month, Lake Institute partnered with WYFI Indianapolis, the Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, and Indiana University Spirit & Place to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special event, Revolutionary Religion: How Voluntary Action and Religion Shaped the American Revolution.

This event invited members of the Central Indiana community to explore how religion and voluntary action helped shape the American Revolution and to consider how these forces continue to influence civic life, community engagement, and public discourse today.

To continue the conversation beyond the event, Lake and our partners have curated a collection of free educational resources, articles, reports, videos, and teaching tools that further examine the role of religion, generosity, and civic engagement in America, both past and present.
