This conference brings together scholars working on issues of religion in both North and South America in the early modern period (1500 to 1800).  We will examine specific aspects of Iberian-Catholicism and Anglo-Protestantism, while also addressing the similar patterns of transformation each underwent in the New World context.  Our aim is to stimulate a dialogue across the traditional disciplinary, geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries that divide scholars working on the Americas, in order to reach a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of religious issues in both areas.  A comparative perspective will elucidate a dynamic model of European religion in transit as its symbols and institutions were forced to adapt practices to local American contexts.
