Hartford
Seminary comprises three centers of inquiry, research,
and education. These centers work individually and
cooperatively to explore the implications of faith in a modern
world. The research and learnings of these Centers informs and
enriches the classroom experience at Hartford Seminary.
Our
Center for Faith in Practice, is dedicated
to how a faithful life may be embodied in everyday practice, both
within congregational worship and outside of the four walls of the
organization. This is
the home of our specialists in Bible, Theology, Ethics, and
Spirituality.
Our
Duncan Black Macdonald Center is the home of our faculty
committed to Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations.
With two Muslims on the Faculty, we are committed to
listening to and understanding Islam as seen by Muslims.
We are especially committed to the dialogue between the
Muslim World and the West. At
this moment in history, this is a conversation of vital importance.
Our
Hartford Institute for Religion Research is the home of our
internationally renowned specialists in congregational studies and
sociology of religion. The
Institute faculty explore religious life in all its organizational forms
from congregations to para-church groups to denominations and
international religious groups.
