InterReligious Understanding

In 2012, Phillips Theological Seminary launched an interreligious understanding program for adult learners. Courses were taught by religious leaders, laity, and scholars in Oklahoma who represented Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, and Native American traditions.

From the beginning, the overarching goal of the program has been to educate and enlighten individuals for life and work in increasingly multicultural and religiously diverse communities.  The program provides one modality for living out the command to love our neighbor: by applying the version of the golden rule that says to respect others as we would be respected.
