Submission
The task of cataloguing many religious traditions in detail is a very large one, and because of that IFO is not able to include all of the information we would like to. Many large traditions are not yet represented at all due to sheer lack of time and manpower. It is our goal, however, to provide a continuously growing and up to date resource for those searching for a slightly more personal side to the religious experience. We would like to ask for your help in providing your fellow searchers with as much information as possible.
If you are a member or leader of a religious group that you wish to see added to this page please take the time to fill out the form below in conjunction with the leaders of your religious community. Your input is invaluable to the continued ability for IFO to provide the service of education to the online community!
This form is an adaptation of the basic template used for the Harvard Pluralism Project. If the community you represent is in the Western North Carolina area, and you request it, this information will be sent to Harvard to be included in their archives as well. Please take the time to give us as much information as you can, and then send this to religion@warren-wilson.edu. We will include it as soon as possible.
A mailing address will also be included in this area within the next week for your convenience.

After completing the form, if you wish, you may take the time to write an essay concerning your experiences with your religious community. Any length would be helpful. You may want to center around one particular experience or issue that can be your "thesis." Include this essay, if you write one, with the rest of the material in the email.
If you wish, we would also like to have any pamphlets, brochures, or publications from your center. Please mail them to the address above. If you would like to address or have someone disuses a particular topic of interest, then please visit our forum.
We appreciate your time, and any information you can provide. This site is based, more than anything, on people and personal experiences. It is dedicated to providing an alternative to the encyclopedia style articles generally found when searching for information on religion, and your help is essential! Thanks again!
