CIRCLE’s mission is to nurture a new generation of moral and spiritual leaders equipped for service in a religiously diverse world. The work of CIRCLE is rooted in the cultivation of authentic relationships among the students, faculty and staff of the two schools. Together, we seek to help transform the ways that religious communities engage in the work of creating a more just and compassionate world. While our primary focus is on "Faith Hill," CIRCLE is also part of a growing national and international conversation about the role of interfaith engagement in religious education and leadership. Both schools are committed to the premise that the training of contemporary religious leaders should include regular and substantive encourters with students and teachers from other faith communities. The presence of the religious “other” throughout a student's education requires the aspiring rabbi, minister, cantor or educator to articulate his or her religious commitments with clarity and conviction, while remaining open to learning from people with different beliefs and practices.
