Mapping Religious Diversity in Mississippi

Welcome to Mapping Religious Diversity in Mississippi, an interactive platform dedicated to exploring and documenting the Magnolia State's rich tapestry of faith traditions. From historic congregations to contemporary spiritual movements, this website surveys the varied religious landscape that has shaped Mississippi's unique cultural heritage. Through detailed maps, historical insights, and community narratives, you can examine Mississippi's religious identities by reading detailed articles; watching brief videos and documentaries; and listening to music and chant that define sacred space.

Contributors to the site include an interdisciplinary array of students and faculty from the University of Mississippi. To navigate the site, first click-on "Explore the Map" on the upper-right page.
