Biographical or Historical Information

The Center for Jewish-Christian Learning was established at the College of St. Thomas in 1985 with Rabbi Max A. Shapiro serving as the center’s founding director. At Rabbi Shapiro's recommendation, Saint John’s University’s Jay Phillips Chair in Jewish Studies and the University of St. Thomas’ Center for Jewish-Christian Learning combined in 1996 to form the Jay Phillips Center for Jewish-Christian Learning. Over the next 13 years, the Center extended the scope of its interfaith work beyond Jewish-Christian relations.  In 2009, the center revised its official mission to promote interfaith learning among people of various religions. The center was renamed to the Jay Phillips Center for Interfaith Learning to reflect this change.
