Educating Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Leaders for Service in a Multi-Religious World
How do we best educate future religious leaders for service in a society of increasing religious diversity? What experiences, knowledge, and skills are necessary to function effectively as an inter-religious leader?
We cordially invite you to our conference with the following goals in mind:
1. To share successes and challenges in the sphere of inter-religious learning and leadership within seminaries and in related fields
2. To discuss the future of the field of inter-religious learning and leadership in American theological education and beyond
3. To explore areas of meaningful inter-religious engagement for clergy and religious leaders
