Consultation for Interfaith Education Committed to the advancement of the field of interfaith education, the TOU pioneered a collaborative initiative, the Consultation for Interfaith Education (CIE) in 2002. As a consortium of religious, interfaith, and educational organizations, CIE facilitates network building among interfaith educators and provides a forum for collaboration on methodological and curricular issues. CIE organizes consultations and symposia to navigate the complex landscape of interfaith education, identifying both its problematic and promising features with the goal of reaching new horizons in practical problem solving and peacebuilding through education. The CIE website, www.globalinterfaithed.org serves as a clearinghouse of interfaith educational resources. It also offers information on past consultations including New York 2003, Barcelona 2004, and New York 2005 "Responsibility of Religons for the UN Millennium Development Goals."

Members of the CIE Planning Committee include: Auburn Theological Seminary, ARIL/CrossCurrents, CLAL-- the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, Cobb & Associates, Council for Spiritual & Ethical Education (CSEE)/Religious Studies in Secondary Schools (RSiSS), the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Interfaith Community, International Association for Religious Freedom, International Mahavir Jain Mission, Muslim Women's Institute for Research & Development, and the Unitarian Universalist Association.
