In November, the Wilmette Institute organized a literature display at the American Academy of Religion Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The conference was attended by some 10,000 professors and students in religious studies, clergy, and journalists. Dozens of visitors stopped by the booth daily to take some literature and ask questions. A common focus of discussion was the inclusion of the Bahá’í Faith in religious studies courses at their university, which is happening with increasing frequency. The display complemented two panels of three talks each on Bahá’í subjects.
