The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) honored Robert Hunt in September with its Excellence in Interfaith Relations Award. In bestowing the award, ISNA leaders cited his work in promoting interfaith relations through many years as a participant in international dialogue events, and in helping organize and lead Faiths in Conversation dialogue groups, engaging Perkins School of Theology students in interfaith dialogue, and working with Thanks-Giving Square and its Interfaith Council. 
Over the last four years his podcast Interfaith Encounters has given dozens of authors, students, and leaders of different religious faith the opportunity to express their views on contemporary issues.
“This is really an award for everyone who engages in respectful dialogue,” said Hunt, who is Professor of Christian Mission and Interreligious Relations at Perkins. “Dialogue is always a community endeavor, and ISNA is a key community in American interreligious dialogue.”
