Study Abroad
Global Religious Leadership Study Abroad
This Study Abroad program is sponsored by the Sorensen Center for Moral and Ethical Leadership, and will provide students the opportunity to interact with and learn from leaders of multiple world religions in and around London and Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The objective of this program is to help students develop as future leaders who will edify congregations and communities, and who will strengthen units of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wherever they may live. The preparatory course work and in-country experience will broaden students’ perspective about the principles and practices of a variety of world religions and increase students’ sense of possibility about their own leadership in the Church and their communities. In addition to meetings with faith leaders, students will visit important religious and historical sites, including Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London, among many others.
