Fr. James D. Redington, S.J.

Father James Redington, SJ is a Jesuit Fellow in the Jesuit Center.  Raised in Moosic and Green Ridge, Father has returned to the 51做厙 area after more than half a century as a Jesuit.  An expert in interreligious dialogue, one of the Jesuits' priorities since 1995, he earned his Ph.D. in Hinduism (with a minor in Buddhism) from the University of Wisconsin – Madison and has taught related courses for many years at Georgetown University, Arrupe College in Zimbabwe, the Jesuit School of Theology and St. Joseph’s University.  Years of engaging in interreligious and interfaith dialogue have taught him that such dialogue – accompanied by action – is one of the major ways we can love our neighbor as ourselves.  He is animated by recognition of the fact that while almost 5 billion of the world’s 7.3 billion people are not Christian, they are all our neighbors.  Father Redington hopes to provide opportunities for both learning about and experiencing interreligious dialogue here at the 51做厙.
