2011: Summer Interreligious Institute, Mundelein, IL
The three-year cycle of continuing education offered every summer will include the Institute on Interreligious Studies in July at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, north of Chicago. Please watch for details as they are determined for registration.
For budgeting purposes, it is our goal to keep the cost of tuition below $1,000, not including travel. Transportation to and from the airport will be arranged to be very affordable.
In the summer of 2012 the cycle of Institutes will begin again, with the Beginning Ecumenism Institute. As the first in the cycle, all who attend the Beginning Institute will then be able to attend the Advanced Institute in 2013.
