General Information

We are educators, professors of religion, theologians and clergy. As individuals and as a group, we are inspired by the ideals of democracy, justice, mutual cooperation, human dignity and moral education. To us, the work that we aspire to accomplish is not simply a job, but rather a calling. As we hail from diverse cultural backgrounds and religions, we are able to weave our experiences into a rich tapestry of ideas in which we complement and enrich each other’s work. As academics, we represent an array of disciplines whose individual concerns and research inform our individual contributions to the Network.

Mission and Objectives

Our goal is to effect a change in the world of education and create new educational perspectives that facilitate and promote co-existence, communication and mutual cooperation among people. In our opinion, religion – even in our postmodern world – needs to play an important role in this new educational paradigm. Our goals are: - To create intercultural educational models to promote bilingualism. - To create concepts and materials for cooperative religious education and have them adopted by the public school system - To create and cultivate a wide network of inter-religious contacts - To offer training and workshops for educators - To participate in conferences to increase the Network’s reach and attract new members
