The McFarland Center is committed to interreligious understanding, in particular Jewish-Christian understanding, through a range of initiatives on campus and through sponsorship of Readings from the Roots.
Readings from the Roots is a historically sensitive translation of the Revised Common Lectionary with the goal of reducing the potential for anti-Judaism by enriching Christianity through its roots in Judaism.
Kraft-Hiatt Program
Funded by the College and the Kraft-Hiatt family, the Kraft-Hiatt Program for Jewish-Christian Understanding sponsors a number of opportunities that profoundly impact individual student and faculty participants and the campus community. The initiative includes lecture series, conferences, visiting scholars, and support for faculty and students to study abroad.
