I’ve officially earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Most Places of Worship Visited in One Month — 185 sacred spaces in the amazing city of Chicago! From churches and mosques to temples and meditation halls, this journey lifted up both the incredible diversity and the unexpected connections of our world’s religious traditions.
Check out My World Record! for links to various press articles and podcast recordings about my adventure. There’s also an interactive map of all the worship space I visited. (Big thanks to Sara Wilcox, Minister at Land of the Sky UCC for creating it!)
Welcome to World Religions for Kids!
World Religions for Kids, founded by Rev. Vicki Michela Garlock, Ph.D., is uniquely focused on helping children of all ages (and their adults) learn about the world’s faith traditions. Our approach emphasizes age-appropriate elements of religious practice like holydays, rituals, and sacred spaces, while remaining non-devotional. It has proven successful with students in various schools (public, private, parochial, charter), in families with a range of beliefs (one faith, multifaith, no faith), and in faith communities from different traditions/denominations.
If you’re interested in global competence, religious freedom, and building a more peaceful world, our resources are for you! Join us via email and/or social media, as we move beyond tolerance and create compassionate understanding together!
