Hartford Seminary's origins date back to 1833 when the Pastoral Union of Connecticut was formed to train Congregational ministers.[2] The next year the Theological Institute of Connecticut was founded at East Windsor Hill, Connecticut. The institution moved to Hartford in 1865 and officially took the name Hartford Theological Seminary in 1885.[2] The Bible Normal College affiliated with the seminary in 1902 and changed its name to Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy.[3] The Kennedy School of Missions became another affiliated activity,[3] originally organized by the Seminary as a separate organization in 1911. In 1913, these three endeavors were combined.[2] In 1961, the entities were legally merged and adopted the new name Hartford Seminary Foundation, which was used until 1981, when the simpler name "Hartford Seminary" came into use.[2]
The Hartford Seminary Foundation published the Hartford Quarterly (originally named Bulletin – Hartford Seminary Foundation) from 1960 to 1968.[4]
Hartford Seminary began to offer niche concentrations in Christian-Muslim dialogue in 1972, and in 1990 Hartford Seminary officially claimed non-denominational status.[5] On Jan. 1, 2018, the Hartford Seminary joined the Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium (BTI), which is the largest theological consortium in the world.
In October 2021, Hartford Seminary officially changed its name to the Hartford International University for Religion and Peace.[6][7][8] The change was intended to better reflect its focus on interfaith dialogue. The university's logo was also updated.
Hartford campusedit
When the seminary moved to Hartford in 1865, it was at first located in the area now occupied by buildings of the Wadsworth Atheneum. In the 1910s, it planned a dedicated new campus on Hartford's west side, south of Elizabeth Street. Construction was delayed by World War I, and a handsome campus of Collegiate Gothic Revival buildings was constructed in the 1920s. Surviving elements of this construction phase were used by the seminary until 1981, and currently constitute the campus of the University of Connecticut School of Law.[9] The present main seminary building, designed by architect Richard Meier, was completed in 1981,[2] replacing several buildings demolished from the initial building phase. The seminary also continues to occupy several adjacent buildings that have historically been part of its campus. These, as well as the law school, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, primarily for their architecture.[9]

The Muslim World Publicationedit
Hartford International University has been home to The Muslim World since 1938, an academic journal dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of scholarly research on Islam and Muslim societies and on historical and current aspects of Christian-Muslim relations.
