Why choose AIHT?
If you are among the many people today who are seeking spiritual
transformation through the growth of your own personal interfaith
perspective, the American Institute of Holistic Theology offers the
kind of inspirational education you can believe in. With an education
from AIHT, not only can you transform and nurture your own life and
faith, but you can use this education to minister and serve others.
What is an Interfaith Perspective?
An interfaith perspective bridges the gaps between religions, faiths,
and spiritual paths. An interfaith perspective provides understanding,
rather than condemnation, developing understanding through a consistent
effort to study the various rituals, liturgies, ceremonies, prayers, and
spiritual experiences of the various world religions and spiritual paths. In
fact, you could say that the interfaith perspective is actually a composite
perspective, one that is inclusive rather than exclusive of the diverse traditions,
faiths, cultures, and religions of our world. One with an interfaith
perspective can, for example, belong to a particular faith, and yet practice
rituals and liturgies from other faiths and spiritual traditions. Or, one
may activate a spiritual path as individual as the diversity that is humanity
itself. Openness to the gifts and wisdom gained from any spiritual
endeavor is the very definition of the interfaith perspective.
The History of AIHT
The American Institute of Holistic Theology was established in 1991.
Since that time the development of programming and curriculum has
evolved, through its own study, to an interfaith perspective that is more
and more true to the holism that defines us. Over those years of growth,
AIHT has inspired thousands of students to find and live their own
spiritual lives with a knowledge base that allows them to evolve and to
serve others by providing respectful, spiritual care to all persuasions and
faiths. The school has developed its programs with the intent of giving
our students a firm but broad base, that will not only add more meaning
to their own lives but will also allow them to minister to others. Our
interfaith programs have grown to include Holistic Theology, Holistic
Ministries, Holistic Health and Spiritual Care, Metaphysical Spirituality,
and Alternate Spiritual Traditions. Each of these programs is interfaith at
its core, but is specifically directed toward the particular area of spiritual
service of each student’s choice. And as we challenge our students to grow,
we continue to grow as well.
AIHT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our programs are interfaith;
bridging the gaps between religions, faiths, and spiritual paths.
Opportunities
The first years of the 21st Century have brought each of us to the
precipice of transformation and we will all be a part of the changes that are
made in our world. AIHT gives its students the opportunity to be leaders
in that transformative process, offering openness and wholeness simultaneously
to those whom they serve, assisting those they touch in forming
their own connection to the Divine, holding forth the holiness that is in all,
offering ministry to those who request it and increasing the meaning and
wholeness in their own lives through knowledge, wisdom and service.
So, why choose AIHT? Because AIHT offers you the knowledge base
to transform your life and offer compassionate support and service to
your world.
