Organization Dialogue Institute / Journal of Ecumenical Studies
History J.E.S was founded by Arlene and Leonard Swidler in 1964 as the first peer-reviewed journal in the field of interreligious dialogue. Born out of the ecumenical spirit of Roman Catholic Church’s Second Vatican Council, J.E.S began with an emphasis on dialogue among diverse Christian traditions. Its focus quickly broadened to Christian-Jewish dialogue and soon thereafter to interchange among a wide array of religious traditions. In 1978, as a companion arm to J.E.S the Institute for Interreligious, Intercultural Dialogue was established.
