As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, PBS has launched a multimedia storytelling project focused, in part, on faith and religion in the United States.

Using photo, video, and text message submissions, “American Portrait” aims to highlight the nation’s religious diversity—as well as its commonality. Partici­pants will respond to prompts about what they were raised to believe, the religious traditions they maintain, and how they make sense of the world today.

It has become standard practice for US corporations to assure employees of support regardless of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. There’s now an intensifying push to ensure that companies are similarly supportive and inclusive when it comes to employees’ religious beliefs.

One barometer: more than 20 percent of the Fortune 100 have established faith-based employee resource groups, according to an AP report, and a high-powered conference took place last month in Washington aimed at expanding those ranks.
