Mid-Year Conference on Religion and Spirituality The Tenth Annual Mid-Year Conference on Religion and Spirituality will be held at the Loyola Columbia Graduate Center in Columbia, Maryland. The conference represents a joint partnership between Division 36, the Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality division of the American Psychology Association, and Loyola University's pastoral counseling department. The goal of this partnership is to leverage resources in order to stimulate research in the area of psychology as it relates to religion and spirituality. The conference provides a supportive academic forum where professionals can discuss the latest research findings and scientific advances in the field. The 2012 program guide shows a very diverse range of interests being represented by scholars at all levels, from graduate students to leading figures in the field. This is the only professional conference whose major purpose is promoting research in religion and spirituality. The department of pastoral counseling has sponsored this research event since its inception 15 years ago as a small roundtable discussion on religious research. The first conference was attended by about 15 graduate students, faculty members, and invited researchers. Over the following several years, the conference grew to a half day event with several invited speakers and more than 100 attendees.
