As the Director of Education and Outreach for the Tri-Faith Initiative, Dr. Lucas Schulte serves as the primary lead for thought leadership, educational programmatic strategy, and fostering relationships with community partners.
Born and raised on a small family farm in central Nebraska, Luke first became interested in interfaith relations during high school when learning about Nostra Aetate from the Second Vatican Council. Luke became one of the first Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, followed by an MAR in Bible at Yale University and a PhD in Religion at Claremont Graduate University. At Claremont, he co-founded and co-chaired the annual “Religions in Conversation” interfaith conference. From 2006 to 2020, Dr. Schulte taught religious studies to undergraduate and graduate students at Pomona College, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Eden Theological Seminary, and elsewhere. Dr. Schulte has authored and edited several published books, chapters, and articles on religions, biblical studies, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and ancient inter-religious relations. In 2023, Luke was thrilled to join Tri-Faith and engage full-time in building interfaith relations and understanding.
When not working, Luke enjoys reading, cycling, cooking, traveling, and spending time with his family.
Interns
In addition to our staff, the success of Tri-Faith Initiative depends on the extraordinary commitment and efforts of a number of committed volunteers, clergy, lay leaders and the administrative staff of the three faith groups.
