New Partnership Explores Developing Interreligious Practices in Intentional Community

The Walker Center is pleased to announce a new joint endeavor in partnership with the Miller Center for Interreligious Learning and Leadership, based at Hebrew College in Newton, MA. 

This program, known as the Resident Interreligious Fellowship Program, marks a new chapter in the life of our largest student community at Walker, the Barton Community. 

In a world of religious plurality, the hope is that our residents, many of whom are future faith leaders and scholars, will gain necessary resources and learn valuable practices to foster deeper interreligious partnership towards the common good. This learning is rooted in the deep (and messy) relationships that are fostered in community life.  

The program is being led by resident Kelly Kossar, a 2nd-year rabbinical student at Hebrew College, who has been awarded a fellowship to lead the program for the entire school year. 

​The Walker Center is pleased to venture together with the Miller Center in this endeavor, and we hope it is only the beginning of an enduring partnership that will be a transformative experience for our residents.
