Centre for Jewish - Catholic - Muslim Learning
The Centre for Jewish-Catholic-Muslim Learning is committed to educating citizens, especially leaders and teachers, within and outside the university community, so that they can share a genuine appreciation and understanding of our rich religious heritage; to facilitating learning about Judaism, Catholicism and Islam by creating contexts and venues in which people of these faiths can represent themselves to others; to promoting understanding and foster engagement through a commitment to reduce the sense of alienation often felt among Jews, Catholics and Muslims; and to empowering others to become more aware of the shared historical and religious heritage that binds Jews, Catholics and Muslims.

Centre for Social Concern
The Centre for Social Concern was established in 1982 and is engaged in research and public awareness around a variety of issues of social justice and peace here in Canada and internationally. Consistent with the mission of King’s University College as a Catholic institution of higher learning, the intention of the Centre is to bring issues of poverty, inequality, and other forms of injustice under the scrutiny of social analysis. Prevailing ideologies that help shape social and economic policies are questioned by bringing to bear the latest empirical data and analyses drawn from a variety of alternative publications, as well as the popular press.
