COLLEGIUM: An Association for Liberal Religious Studies

Welcome to Collegium

Collegium is a primarily Unitarian Universalist independent association dedicated to providing support to those doing research and writing across the gamut of traditions of liberal religious studies. Collegium aims to engender a sense of collegiality that enables the sharing of intellectual interests. It holds an annual conference in late October or November of each year.

Collegium actively encourages clergy, laity, seminarians, archivists, researchers, writers, and scholars whose interests are relevant to the tradition of liberal religious studies to register membership with us. 

Liberal Religious Studies Database

We are in the initial stages of an ambitious project to create a searchable, online database of academics, independent scholars, ministers and seminarians in liberal religious studies from around the world. If you are undertaking such work, please consider joining us in promoting liberal religious thought.
