At Hartford International University for Religion and Peace

We believe strong religious institutions and healthy communities of faith are necessary to the wellbeing of individuals and society.

We affirm the goodness of religious differences that exist in the world, and we support faithful living in a pluralistic and multi-faith environment.

We are committed to the pursuit of knowledge and academic excellence, to the understanding of religion and spirituality as they are lived out in daily life, to the exploration of issues of gender, race and class, and to education that integrates the many dimensions of human experience.

”Love, peace, understanding, active listening, having regard for one’s experience, and healthy human interactions are the foundational elements of conflict transformation, and HIU is a unique institution that provided me with a space to learn and put these principles into practice.”

“My life experience at Hartford International continually teaches me to engage people of different backgrounds — be it in interreligious, interracial or intercultural contexts — via our minds but more importantly via our hearts, within which we find our common humanity. ”
