A Message from the President

Genuine human-kindness, benevolent acceptance, and peacekeeping are core values expressed in every one of the world religions and spiritual pathways. These core values spring from a foundation of sincere love and compassion. This love and compassion is the source we can access to remove all separation. And it is from this love and compassion that the interfaith perspective is established. At the mystical level of awareness, each tradition shares with every other tradition a sense of connection or unity, because of which, if we wish to serve, we must learn to protect and uplift all living things. Just as art can elevate our earthly imagination to the celestial realm, so the intention of such unity can inspire each of us as individuals, communities, and nations to live and grow in harmony, co-creating deeper and deeper levels of unity.
Many are now seeking to find answers that run deeper
than simply being a part of a particular religion. Each year at AIHT,
I have seen an increase in the numbers of inquisitive seekers; seekers
who want to understand not only their own spiritual depth, but who
want to learn more about the deep explorations of others who have found
wisdom and grace before them. Even science is beginning to consider
the possibilities of such unity, so that it is has conducted research
evaluating such things as the power of prayer and the effect of peace-of-mind
on the body.
AIHT is designed to join you as a spiritual seeker,
to feed your hunger for accurate information and to inspire you, from
wherever you are in your own search. Our innovative, self-paced programs
combine stimulating concepts with proven, manageable approaches to
service and self-growth. Created for adult students who seek a thoughtful
balance of learning, working, and family life, independent studies
are first accessible and then transforming.
Are you ready to take the
journey of discovery inherent in such an education? From so many paths
and so many viewpoints, our alumni share a bold, bright, unifying dream-to
offer transformation to themselves and their world. As holistic ministers, chaplains, family/life coaches, community volunteers, authors, teachers, media specialists, entrepreneurs, and more, our graduates truly become citizens of the world. If you are open to living your dreams, maybe now is your time.
Toward a Greater Awareness of Grace,

Michael J. Parker
PRESIDENT
