The Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue™ (JIRD) is pleased to issue a call for submissions for its inaugural edition. The Journal is a forum for academic, political, and social discussions related to the unique experiences and interactions of different religious traditions. Students, faculty, and alumni from seminaries of all affiliations are welcome to submit an original article.

The Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue™ seeks to increase interchanges between religious communities, starting with clergy and leaders in inter-religious work. Although it aims to become a vehicle for improving relations between groups, the Journal encourages those interested in submitting pieces not to shy away from controversial issues. Prospective authors should feel welcome to address these topics head-on, though in a respectful and informed way.

According to the Year of Antingones website:

“The Year of Antigones is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, and community-wide series of events focused on the figure of Antigone, the tragic heroine of Sophocles’ play of the same name, and the various historical and contemporary appropriations of this figure. These events are organized by the Department of Philosophy at DePaul University, but will take place at various colleges, universities, theaters, performance spaces, and other venues throughout Chicagoland during the 2007-2008 academic year.”
