Here is a printable poster for the event.
Numrich, who also serves as professor of world religions and interreligious relations at Capital University, will speak on his faculty research project regarding space sharing. He continues to gather input from those who have participated in space-sharing arrangements at www.mtso.edu/sharingspace. The Louisville Institute has provided grant support for the project.
Numrich recently has published two articles on space sharing: “When a Shared Parking Lot Isn’t Just About Parking” on the website Studying Congregations and “Space-Sharing by Religious Groups” on the site Practical Matters.
His space-sharing research follows a series of projects he has completed in his study of interreligious relations. Among his books are Religion and Community in the New Urban America and The Faith Next Door: American Christians and Their New Religious Neighbors.
Numrich holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, a Master of Divinity degree from Garret-Evangelical Theological Seminary and a bachelor’s degree from Aurora College.
Methodist Theological School in Ohio provides theological education and leadership in pursuit of a just and sustainable world. In addition to the Master of Divinity degree, the school offers master’s degrees in counseling, theological studies and practical theology, along with a Doctor of Ministry degree.
