Religious Communities and Resources

ISSS recognizes that religious institutions often serve an important role in the lives of individuals, but it is difficult to maintain the same sort of religious or ritual practice in a new country having left one’s religious community at home.  Below is a list of Nashville congregations of various denominational and cultural affiliations in multiple faith traditions, listed alphabetically.  We hope you find this rudimentary list of contacts resourceful.
