We provide learning opportunities for thriving in a religiously complex world.
We are educators with decades of experience convening diverse individuals and communities in dialogue and collaboration supporting religious diversity. We help leaders understand religious differences and provide expertise on supporting and accommodating those differences.
Despite coming from different faith, cultural, and professional backgrounds, your interreligious studies peers share your curiosity, willingness to embrace complexity, and love for all of humanity. Together, we embrace our differences and see faith as a means to connect with and care for others.

My experience in collaborating with the Hartford International University for Religion and Peace has been a gift that keeps on giving, meeting people from around the world, the country and from so many different cultures and religions. In the second year for our series on religious diversity series, we have broadened its scope to include more faiths, more conversations and more access for professionals in social work, nursing and other professions, helping them to serve others in a way that is inclusive and connected. This is a big part of the work AARP Connecticut is doing and will be doing for years to come.

I find the religious diversity material excellent, and incredibly informative. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. The insight provided on religious diversity in the workplace is practical and thoughtful, and accentuates how knowledge, understanding and respect can go a long way – not only in the workplace, but beyond. There’s no better time than now to cultivate understanding and appreciation for each other’s cultures and faith traditions

HIU designed a “Faith in Our Cities” Series for us to help our members understand the complexity of the region’s religious diversity. Religious beliefs and practices can be very important to our co-workers and consumers—especially older adults, so knowing even a little about their religion helps us offer more compassionate and religion-competent care.
