Hartford Institute for Religion Research website redesign
The website of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, has a new look. HIRR is one of over 20 religion websites funded by the Lilly Endowment, along with CICW, that meets once a year for a national consultation.
Here’s how HIRR introduces its new site:
- We now have a new Fast Facts about American Religion section with quick answers to questions like how many churches are there, how much are pastors paid, and where are all the megachurches. http://hirr.hartsem.edu/research/fastfacts/fast_facts.html
- We have a separate section about megachurches including new papers from around the Web and a number of Scott Thumma’s powerpoint presentations from the past year. http://hirr.hartsem.edu/megachurch/megachurches.html
- We are just beginning a new section on Practical Theology. http://hirr.hartsem.edu/theology/theology.html
- We have increased our resources in the Congregational and Denominational Sections of the site. http://hirr.hartsem.edu/cong/cong.html; http://hirr.hartsem.edu/denom/denominations.html
- We have greatly added to the Sociology of Religion resources. http://hirr.hartsem.edu/sociology/sociology.html
- It is still being worked on some, but the megachurch listing is now in an actual searchable database and is SO much faster! http://hirr.hartsem.edu/megachurch/database.html
