That social networks play a central role in religious life is fairly well established. We know, for instance, that they are crucial for the recruitment and retention of members, the diffusion of religious ideas and practices, motivating individuals to volunteer and become politically active, the health and well- being of people of faith, and conflict, radicalization, and (sometimes) violence.

This session offers an opportunity for social network analysts to bring their unique skills to bear on a phenomenon that greatly impacts the contemporary world.
