We are currently working on a number of important projects related to our mission to pursue peace, mutual respect and human development in the Middle East.
This program was inagurated in the fall of 2004 with the help and support of an incredible team. The bold initiative successfully brings together leaders and teachers of the three Abrahamic faiths - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - for interfaith teaching and dialogue. This program reflects our deep committment both to the dialogue of civilization as well as to the centrality of faith in pursuing lasting solutions.
We are in the planning and preparation for this exciting new program that will give advanced seminary students of the three Abrahamic faiths the unique opportunity to teach and learn from each other. We will invite students preparing to be priests, rabbis, imams and ministers to learn and teach in the supportive environment of American higher education. We plan to inagurate our first summer session in 2008.
Jerusalem is a hot-button issue that is as important as it is difficult to talk about. We are dedicated to bringing the issue of Jerusalem into the forefront of civic and religious dialogue in the United States and abroad.
Institute President Stephen P. Cohen traveled to the Middle East in 2003 as a part of a Presidential Commission for Public Diplomacy and we have since shared in this important American mission.
