The Tom Porter Religion & Conflict Transformation Program is an initiative of Boston University School of Theology offered to all students enrolled at a Boston Theological Interreligious (BTI) Consortium Member School either for a degree or for continuing education.

We train students to think and do conflict transformation for justice and peace through the Religion & Conflict Transformation Certificate.

"The RCT Program continues to influence how I approach my work today. In my current roles across public policy, communications, and community engagement, I regularly draw on the program’s emphasis on empathy, resilience, and equity-centered leadership. It helped me better understand the importance of creating spaces where people feel heard and supported, which has shaped how I engage communities, build partnerships, and communicate around complex social and economic issues.”-- Rev. Vernon K. Walker, '16
