Research
The Flame of Love Project encompasses a variety of research and networking activities. We will be conducting in-depth interviews with nationally recognized exemplars of Godly Love, as well as a national survey on the role of Godly Love in fostering service to others. Currently, we are conducting interviews with exemplars of Godly Love from our local area. Further details about the local exemplars are available on our biosketch pages.
The project will also sponsor two Summer Institutes for the purpose of mentoring young scholars in the study of Godly Love. In May of 2008, we will disseminate a Request for Proposals that will fund six research projects at a maximum of $150,000 each, to be co-directed by teams of at least one social scientist and at least one theologian. These are just some of the activities of the project. We welcome inquiries about any aspect of our proposed research.
