Supporters of Hartford Seminary’s Imam Ali Chair for Shi’i Studies and Dialogue among Islamic Legal Schools, the first of its kind in North America, visited the Seminary on Friday, April 13, for a discussion with faculty and President Heidi Hadsell.

The Imam Ali Chair, established in 2015, provides a voice in the academy for Shi’i Islam, as well as encouraging dialogue among Islamic legal schools, including Shi’i and Sunni. Hartford Seminary’s commitment to dialogue includes dialogue within religions as well as between them.
