[lit-ideas] Institute of Unlimited Love

For all you secondary teacher-types who might want to pull in some fun  
topics for your students to learn.  
 
I have not yet looked at this interesting organization--though it  sounds 
intriguing. What a fun name, though!  The Institute of Unlimited  Love.

Secondary School Faculty Invited to Enter Course Competition on  
Unselfish Love

Deadline: July 15, 2005

The Institute for  Research on Unlimited Love - Altruism, Compassion, 
Service (  http://www.unlimitedloveinstitute.org/ ), which
was established through a  grant from the John Templeton Foundation 
( http://www.templeton.org/ ), has  announced "Unto Others: Scientific 
and Religious Perspectives on the Love of  Neighbor," a course 
competition for secondary school faculty.

The  competition encourages academically rigorous secondary school 
courses that  focus on unselfish love of neighbor as a spiritual and 
practical ideal. The  winning courses must combine the study
of unselfish love as understood within  (a) spiritual traditions and (b) 
scientific frameworks, such as physics,  cosmology, evolution, biology, 
political science, the social sciences, and  health.

Faculty in religious studies and/or theology, the humanities, and  the 
sciences are encouraged to apply. Courses co-taught by two faculty  
members representing religion and science might be especially 
compelling  in some cases, but team teaching is by no means 
imperative. In addition to  new individual course development, it is
possible to apply on the basis of  refocusing an already existing course 
on the theme of unselfish love with  significant attention to religion and
science. In some cases, several faculty  teaching in an integrative core 
humanities course might work together to  include the topic as a major 
and sustained theme.

Ten awards of  $5,000 will be made. 

Applicants can review the full course competition  description at the 
Institute for Research on Unlimited Love Web  site.
