The Theolab is dedicated to creating resources for your use in classrooms and communities! These are developed through the hard work and dedication of students, staff, faculty, and local to international partners, who help us to test the next generation of methods with emerging ideas.
Drawing upon religious traditions, spiritual pathways and indigenous wisdom, the Religica Theolab also works alongside local to international allies to create new ways of communicating the strongest values within these traditions. We work with the United Nations Environment Program, Councils of Churches in the world, the Parliament of the World’s Religions, Church World Service, and additional NGOs. We endeavor alongside ecumenical partners toward achieving shared aims.” Aligned to SU Strategic goals, we are reimagining, revising, strengthening, enhancing, and repositioning for growth. Our purpose is where mission and vision meet every day.
From 2016-2019, The Center convened scholars, practitioners, and those who have experienced homelessness and shelterlessness, to provide insights on the complexities of these challenges.

In this video series, we explore the ways in which we spark our imagination each month at the Center. From staying connected to creating harmony in our communities, we thrive through resilience and love. Watch our Imagining Our Future video from Fall 2022.
CEIE is guided by the Ignatian commitment to religious literacy (General Congregation 34), where the joy of learning includes our whole humanity across all disciplines!
The Center develops resources with a diversity of perspectives around challenges we face today in society. Every resource we create is shared across a robust social media platform and then poured into curriculum for use in classrooms and your community. We believe this is the best of constructive, public theology – to be alert, ready and responsive.
In the squares above – you’ll see how CEIE collaborates with the United Nations Environment Program to focus on the religious response to climate destruction (Faith for Earth), and how Center students lead with interviews and monthly videos that spark imagination and conversation. We enlist SU faculty to share their wisdom in our Seeking Wisdom Series, and we respond with multimedia resources to the challenges of our pandemic age through our Religica Theolab.
