The InterReligious Institute at CTS Join us through our events, resources, and training materials. We invite you to join us in this work.

The IRI serves as a means to engage the public as we work to reshape the public square, such that people of all religions and people of no particular religion have equal space and voice. For more than four decades, Chicago Theological Seminary has been committed to academic and community-oriented programs that promote interfaith dialogue and collaboration. The InterReligious Institute grows from this longstanding legacy and seeks to deepen and broaden interreligious understanding in order to build communities rooted in pluralism, deeply intersectional, resolutely antiracist, striving always for justice and mercy.
