The Institute for the Study of Religion in Community Life was founded to investigate and articulate the various roles religious institutions and individual people of faith can take to enhance community life.
To this end, we sponsor research projects and educational seminars, develop cooperative programs with various religious organizations in the community and search out service opportunities in the community for our faculty and students.
For additional information, contact Thomas Petriano ([email protected]) at 631.687.2689.

Professor Susannah Heschel
Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College
S. Elizabeth A. Johnson, C.S.J., Ph.D.
Distinguished Professor of Theology at Fordham University
