All the best, The Pluralism Project Team ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- *Please Support the Pluralism Project by Making a Year-End Contribution* Your support of the Pluralism Project allows us to continue to serve as a trusted hub for scholars, students, practitioners, and community leaders. Twenty-five years on, our priorities remain two-fold: to *research* the impact of religious diversity on cities and towns across America and to *create educational resources*. Our growing *Case Study Initiative <http://www.pluralism.org/casestudy>* highlights the interplay between these two vital streams of our work. *Your financial contribution <http://www.pluralism.org/about/donation> allows us not only to research and write cases but also to increase our capacity to provide training and support to individuals interested in using these resources.* Although we are a research and educational project based at Harvard University, *grants and private donations sustain 97 percent of our annual budget.* In other words, *your financial contribution <http://www.pluralism.org/about/donation> to the Pluralism Project doesn’t just make a difference: it’s what makes our work possible.* Read more from our founder and director, Dr. Diana Eck at http://www.pluralism.org/newsletters/view/2014-11-25. *Ready to make a contribution? *Learn how at http://www.pluralism.org/about/donation. *THANK YOU!* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *2014 Photo Contest - Submission Deadline: December 31st, 5pm EST* We invite you to participate in our fourth annual Pluralism Project Photo Contest.

The program will be paid in full, and participants will not need to incur any costs. The goal of this dynamic exchange program is to connect and build constructive relationships between future leaders from the United States and Egypt. This initiative, The Gabr Fellowship, will work towards the vital task of renewing and reinvigorating the important bilateral relationship between the two nations through cross-cultural dialogue and the development of collaborative projects. The exchange will take place in the second quarter of 2015 in Egypt and the U.S. Most of the two-week U.S. segment will be held in Washington, DC and New York, NY and will also include a visit to a major regional center with strong international connections, such as Atlanta, Georgia. The Egypt session will open in Cairo, and move to Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan. All applicants must be between 24 and 35 years of age. American applicants should not have traveled previously to Egypt. Egyptian applicants should not have previously traveled to the United States. Application deadline: December 31st. More information available at http://eastwestdialogue.org/gabrfellowship.
