The S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies on Thursday (Feb 2) inked agreements with six religious institutions, in a move to promote greater understanding of different religions here.

Its Studies in Inter-Religious Relations in Plural Societies (SRP) Programme will work closely with the institutions to develop post-graduate courses on religion and conduct research into the religious lives of the diverse communities in Singapore, among other things.

The six institutions are: the Buddhist College of Singapore, the Hindu Centre, Muis Academy, the St Francis Xavier Major Seminary, the Taoist College and Trinity Theological College.
