Horror often delves into themes of fear, the supernatural, and the unknown. Grantee Jonathan Greenaway, a theology and horror researcher, explores how horror may help us confront our deepest anxieties and reconcile troublesome aspects of religious faith. His empirical investigation seeks to shed light on the intriguing connections between horror and spirituality, inviting us to consider whether the darkest shadows of our beliefs can be found in the most unexpected places.

About us
Templeton Religion Trust (TRT) is a global charitable trust established by Sir John Templeton with headquarters in Nassau, The Bahamas. Active since 2012, our aim is to improve the well-being of individuals and societies through spiritual growth and an ever-expanding understanding of spiritual realities and spiritual information. We’re working with people of all faiths and people of none — philosophers and theologians, artists and scientists of all kinds — to learn more about the mysteries, forces, and unseen realities surrounding us. TRT is focused on connecting the threads between the “How” of science and the “Why” of theology. We’re seeking to uncover what fundamental laws of nature reveal about what it means to be human. We’re looking for signals of transcendence, trail markers pointing to the infinite. We’re changing the conversation about religion, together with you, and all who are curious.

Freedom of religion is the bedrock of any free and prosperous society. And that’s why grantee Wade Kusack and his organization, Love Your Neighbor Community (LYNC), has a mission of promoting that freedom through partnership with people of faith, governments, and civil societies in strategic community building while extending the love of God in a practical and tangible way. LYNC takes a relational approach to progress and works to create relationships with the government, civil society, and religious community. LYNC sees the path forward as providing structure and strategy to the budding relationships and dialogue. Learn more about this work: https://bit.ly/3yQUkCV

It’s easy for most of us to recall at least one professor who profoundly influenced us — while we were students and well beyond. More than just imparting book knowledge, they showed us how to approach unknowns and differences. Be open to new ideas. Stay resilient through challenges. They showed us how to relate and debate. They shared their opinions and beliefs. They made us more sure of who we were. They helped us grow. Beyond personal experiences, there’s ample evidence from research that faculty exert more influence than anyone else on students’ learning, development, persistence, and degree attainment. The quality of the college experience is determined by the faculty, Grantee Matthew Mayhew stresses. Moreover, a pluralism of beliefs among faculty is critical for true education to take place. Through a first-of-its-kind study, Mayhew is working to gain empirical documentation and a fuller understanding of faculty’s religious, spiritual, and secular identities and how these affect their work.

Are we still making progress? Grantee Ben Hurlbut is leading a boundary-pushing social research project. Its aim is to explore ideas of progress that underpin our common understanding of what it means to be human, to live a good life, and to aspire to a better future—ideas which are culturally powerful but are seldom questioned.

Stories on screens via film, television, and streaming are central to our lives. They allow us to experience complex moral situations from multiple perspectives on screen. Cognitive science, philosophy, and film studies are coming together to better understand how character engagement, reflection, the powerful experience of a film, and moral understanding are connected.

The dream we have of making a difference in the world can be lost and we can end up feeling more like a money machine rather than a human being. Rather than work with purpose, it can all seem pointless and a little bit soulless. Revaluating value is an ongoing process. We need an epiphany moment to show us a wider view of the value we produce. That often starts with ask ourselves deep in our heart and soul, what are we seeking – to grow a bigger business, or to build better lives through business?
