Welcome to CEIE

 

The Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious Engagement (CEIE) at Seattle University is rooted in a Jesuit, Catholic commitment to ecumenical and interreligious engagement, spiritual and indigenous pathways, and to cultural wisdom. We serve the whole student (cura personalis), meaning wherever you are in life's walk, we discern that journey with you, in the university, alongside ecumenical and interreligious communities, and with our partners near and far.

CEIE Scholarship

CEIE is dedicated to the Ignation sensibility for "finding God in all things," gathering faculty and practitioners to address moral, societal, and leadership challenges at the margins of society through interdisciplinary scholarly projects. Our most recent project, Gratitude, Injury, and Repair in a Pandemic Age is now available for pre-order through Georgetown University Press.

Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy at CEIE draws upon the Ignatian principles of values discernment, personal action, and individual and collective transformation. When we cultivate a sense of core purpose, awareness and wisdom grow, as does our leadership in responsibility to ourselves, to our communities, to the spaces where we work, and to the places we call home.
