Scripps Howard Program in Religion, Journalism
and the Spiritual Life
Columbia University 

For 11 years, the Scripps Howard Program in Religion, Journalism and the Spiritual Life at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, has helped journalists report about religion and its impact. In 2008 the "Covering Religion" seminar, conducted by Professor Ari Goldman, took 17 fellows to Ireland.

This year's course looked at different religions today through a case study of how religion is evolving in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with each student researching a specific faith or denomination and reporting to the class on what he or she has learned.      

Follow the class on their journey "the faiths o' the Irish" for photos and stories of the 2008 trip and previous trips to India, Russia, Israel and the American South.
