Building Abrahamic Partnerships

Building Abrahamic Partnerships
An interfaith community of learning for Jews, Christians, and Muslims

 

“The overarching question is how to develop interfaith trust in the prevailing atmosphere of fear and mutual suspicion. In situations of trauma, as experienced continuously in the Middle East and as experienced in the West since 9/11, people are likely to turn inward.

Accordingly, they have great difficulty in reaching out to the religious ‘Other.’ The prevailing attitude is often that no one’s suffering can be compared to our own suffering. In this climate of victimhood, the Other - whether national ethnic group or religious community - is often labeled simplistically and unhelpfully as either good or evil.”

- David Smock, Director, Religion and Peacemaking Initiative,U.S. Institute of Peace,“Building Interreligious Trustin a Climate of Fear,” February 2003

Hartford Seminary, building on its strengths as an interfaith, dialogical school of practical theology, designed this innovative program to be a resource for Jews, Christians, and Muslims who seek a solid foundation in interfaith ministry. It is an eight-day intensive immersion in interfaith dialogue and understanding.
