Prayer of the Month
Opening Prayer
In this century and in any century,
Our deepest hope, our most tender prayer,
Is that we learn to listen.
May we listen to one another in openness and mercy May we listen to plants and animals in wonder and respect May we listen to our own hearts in love and forgiveness May we listen to God in quietude and awe. And in this listening, Which is boundless in its beauty, May we find the wisdom to cooperate With a healing spirit, a divine spirit, Who beckons us into peace and community and creativity. We do not ask for a perfect world. But we do ask for a better world. We ask for deep listening. Jay McDaniel Prof. of Religion, Hendrix College, Ark.

What our
Students Say
My seminary experience with the International Seminary for Interfaith Studies changed my life.
The two-year ministerial program was intellectually stimulating, profoundly spiritual, and deeply healing.
If your heart's deepest desire is to find a place to finish your own healing so that you can begin to help heal humanity, this seminary is the place to start.

Welcome Back! Welcome back to a new school year, to a new time in all of our lives, and to a time of even greater changes.
I always think back to my years of starting school each fall and remember the feeling of exciting new beginnings. A new chance to balance, focus and ground myself as I move forward into something new and exciting. It does not matter if you have absolutely no idea of where you are going, what you are going to do when you get there or even what it is that you are going to do. The very act of stepping forward into the new is what is important. It is the Journey that is the Beginning. Here's to all our new Beginnings. Let's make this a powerful year, full of love, laughter and movement forward. Blessings, Blessings, Blessings, and Enjoy, Dean Deb
