Mission Statement
The AJCU Interreligious Ministries Network embraces the diversity of faith and spiritual traditions at the 27 Jesuit, Catholic colleges and universities in the United States. In the spirit of the “Promoting an Ignatian Culture” characteristic of Jesuit higher education, interreligious ministries create opportunities for students and campus communities to engage in dialogue, community and fellowship across differences, and to learn from each other and find common ground.
The Network recognizes the diversity of professionals at AJCU schools who engage with interreligious work from administrative and academic perspectives. We are a group of administrators, chaplains, campus ministers and academics. We are practitioners and researchers. If your role at an AJCU school involves working with spiritually diverse students in any way, we would love to have you join us: please see our contact information below.
