We train civic, religious, and academic leaders to be agents of change in the U.S. and around the globe who practice pluralism, and democracy, and advance understanding, compassion, and dialogue across differences.

The Dialogue Institute engages religious, civic, and academic leaders in practicing the skills of respectful dialogue and critical thinking, building and sustaining transformative relationships across lines of religion and culture. Established in 1964, the peer-reviewed Journal of Ecumenical Studies advances critical awareness of the latest directions in ecumenical and interreligious research.

The Dialogue Institute and the Journal of Ecumenical Studies share a common purpose—to advance intrareligious, interreligious, and intercultural dialogue and engagement around the world, by supporting scholarship, training, and action.
