THE TEMPLE OF UNDERSTANDING has led the way in interfaith education and
advocacy for over 48 years.
We educate youth and adults both cross culturally and inter-religiously for global
citizenship and peaceful coexistence; advocate for acceptance and respect for religious pluralism by the worlds governing bodies; and actively continue our role in the Social
Justice Movement.
The organization was founded in 1960 by a pioneering visionary, Juliet Hollister,
with the support of a distinguished group of “Founding Friends,” which included
Eleanor Roosevelt, Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan,
Sir Zafrula Khan, H.H. Pope John XXIII, Anwar al-Sadat and H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama,
among others.
