Vancouver School of Theology continues its long standing partnership with First Nations communities and its partnerships with inter-religious communities through Iona Pacific Inter-religious Centre to make possible a M.A. in Indigenous and Inter-religious Studies.
The purpose of this degree is to provide students with the opportunity to engage in research and writing in a context where three major monotheistic faith traditions meet North American indigenous traditions and vice versa. It will make available the unique resources of VST’s partner institutions, Iona Pacific (inter-religious) and Yuuhaadax (indigenous), in addition to VST’s core faculty to offer a distinctive academic experience, both intellectual and spiritual. The degree will prepare students to participate in an increasingly pluralistic world and equip them to meet the challenges of religious diversity.
