Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies

ICJS Mission: To dismantle religious bias and bigotry, ICJS builds learning communities where religious difference becomes a powerful force for good.

The Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) is an independent, educational nonprofit advancing interreligious dialogue and understanding in order to build and sustain a multireligious democracy in the United States. Through educational programming, public-facing scholarship, and relationship-centered fellowships and workshops, ICJS models a new conversation in the public square that affirms religious diversity and creates opportunities for participants to practice the art of interreligious dialogue. Our audiences include the general public, civic leaders, teachers, chaplains, clergy, congregational leaders, seminarians, librarians, museum professionals, and higher-ed faculty.
