The Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding (CCJU) is an educational and research division of Sacred Heart University. Established in 1992, CCJU is a direct outgrowth of the Second Vatican Council’s teachings that encouraged interreligious dialogue and cooperation. The Center draws together clergy, laity, scholars, theologians and educators to focus on current religious thinking within Judaism and Christianity and provides forums for dialogue to advance greater knowledge, understanding and harmony between religions. The growing participation of Muslims in the interreligious dialogue is also welcomed by the CCJU. As members of each religious tradition reevaluate attitudes toward the other, the Center strives to foster the exploration of the major theological, historical, philosophical and social issues on the frontier of interreligious dialogue as these are formulated by scholars and religious leaders at the national and international levels.
