The Five Faiths Project combines original works of art, photographs, storytelling and community events to introduce information about the world religions of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. The goal of this multiyear project is to help people explore the diverse religious communities that are present in North Carolina.

One of the goals of the project was to produce a small web site that could showcase some of the work and findings of the project. This web site offers you a chance to experience some of the excitement of the project. Here you will find a sampling of the photographs, artwork and performances that make up this rich project.
