Welcome to the Institute for Interreligious Study and Dialogue
Following the lead of the bishops of the Second Vatican Council in their declaration Nostra Aetate fifty years ago, our institute wants to engage in study and enhancement of dialogue with people of other religions.
On this website you will find some of the current and past events. You will also find some useful links and sources. Hopefully we can show you how dialogue is part of the mission of the Church and of this University.
