The Dialogue Institute (DI), based at Temple University, works to transform the world into a global community by fostering interreligious and intercultural scholarship, understanding and cooperation. A nonprofit organization founded in 1978, the DI trains 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. It provides resources and creates networks for intra- and interreligious scholarship and action that value difference and foster human dignity.

Established in 1964, the peer-reviewed Journal of Ecumenical Studies (JES) advances critical awareness of the latest directions in ecumenical and interreligious research.

Goals of the DI/JES:

Mentor emerging leaders and social entrepreneurs
Engage in dialogue with clergy, educators, professionals and others who shape culture
Create and sustain partnerships to develop programs and resources
Reduce prejudice and intolerance
Explore a standard of global ethics
Advance religious freedom and appreciation of difference
Promote ecumenical and interreligious scholarship in the Journal of Ecumenical Studies
