ICJS has been engaging local, regional, and national communities with educational and dialogue programs for more than 30 years. We offer adult learners, teachers, community leaders, and religious leaders opportunities to explore interfaith relations that disarm religious tensions, encourage civil discourse, and deepen spiritual pursuits.
Imagining Justice in Baltimore (IJB): A Four-part Online Interreligious Dialogue
In the fall of 2020, the third iteration of IJB conversations will examine various religious perspectives on water access, pollution, and justice. We will convene a series of community dialogues that bring Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions and texts to bear on important questions. These conversations will be facilitated online by our Justice Fellows on the following Thursday evenings: October 8, 22, and November 5, 19 . Registration opens September 8.
Lectures and Discussions with Authors and Thought Leaders
ICJS offers occasional lectures and discussions that are open to the public, bridging the divide between the academy and the public, and building religious literacy in Baltimore with some of the leading voices in studying Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and interreligious studies.
Mini Courses
Mini Courses provide adult learners with an opportunity to delve deeply into a subject over a series of class meetings. Courses are led by both ICJS and outside instructors and creatively mix multiple formats, such as lecture, group discussion, and paired study. They also incorporate diverse sources, including texts, art, music, and video.
