As a predominately Christian institution, Chicago Theological Seminary recognizes our responsibility to educate and equip not only our students but also others in the world to make space for the wide variety of life stances and religious traditions of which we are a part.

Our society has a long history of normalizing Christianity as the preferred or normal way to be an American. We counter this false and harmful notion at CTS through our course work and degree programs.

The IRI serves as our means to engage the public as we work to reshape the public square, such that people of all religions and people of no particular religion have equal space and voice. Join us through our events, resources, and training materials.
