The Institute for Interreligious, Intercultural Dialogue (IIID) "was founded in 1978 as an "outreach" instrument of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies (founded in 1963). In 1994 the JES/IIID became a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization.

"The Institute for Interreligious, Intercultural Dialogue (IIID) translated the fundamental research published in the Journal of Ecumenical Studies into concrete activities and partnerships. It sponsored numerous conferences on interreligious, interideological, intercultural dialogue, including a number of seminars on Jewish-Christian dialogue in Germany (East and West) and the United States, Christian-Marxist Dialogue in Europe, the United States, the Soviet Union and China, and an International Buddhist-Christian Dialogue Conference in Japan. IIID also collaborated with the Kennedy Institute of Georgetown University, and then the National Conference of Christians and Jews in sponsoring the "International Scholars' Annual Trialogue" (ISAT) especially directed toward Jews, Christians, and Muslim."
