The Woodstock Theological Center was an independent, Jesuit-sponsored research institute located at Georgetown University that carried out theological and ethical reflection on the most pressing human issues of the day. Drawing on the Roman Catholic tradition, the Woodstock Center was ecumenically open, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative with, among others, the business community, government, religious groups, universities, other research centers, and the media.
This free-standing theological institute was founded in 1973 to stimulate creative theological thinking about critical issues facing the human family, society, and the Church. Over the course of forty years, Woodstock contributed significantly to the rich heritage of Jesuit theological inquiry in service to the Church and the world. The Center closed in 2013.
