In Memory of James E. Dittes, 1926-2009

I was saddened to learn of the death of James E. Dittes. Donald Capps, his friend and colleague, has very kindly permitted me to share his tribute. Please, visit and learn about Professor Dittes' accomplishments, not only in the psychology of religion, but also in the way he touched the lives of his students and colleagues. He will be missed.

I hope to periodically highlight some of the web sites in the psychology of religion during the coming months so that you have a chance to learn more about the people and projects helping to shape the field. To start it off, take a moment to visit Sebastian Murken's website for a look at the research he and his colleagues are conducting at the University of Trier. He offers an English version as well as the German version. The lab is part of the Center for Psychobiological and Psychosomatic Research, and this marks their 10th year of work. Congratulations, Sebastian, on the vibrant lab you have established!
