Patricia Farris prepare to sign an agreement establishing an endowed professorship in Jain Studies.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LOS ANGELES, Calif. Wednesday, April 16, 2025\/CST\/ &#8211; Claremont School of Theology took part in an historic signing ceremony establishing The Bhagwan Chandraprabha Endowed Professorship in Jain Studies at CST.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceremony was held at the Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC) and attended by over a hundred people, including several prominent leaders in the Jain community. Dr. Nitin Shah, past president of JCSC and current Chair of the Academic Liaison Committee of the the Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA), kicked off this very auspicious ceremony by welcoming everyone and spoke about the history of the partnership between CST and the Jain community through the hiring of adjunct professor Sushama Parekh to start teaching Jain classes at CST in 2015. Other prominent leaders in attendance include Dr. Jasvant Modi, past president of JCSC and lead donor of the endowed professorship; Mr. Dilip Shah and Mr. Mahesh Wadher, past presidents of JAINA; Dr. Parveen Jain, CEO of the Arihanta Institute; and adjunct professor, Mrs. Sushama Parekh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This landmark moment strengthens CST\u2019s commitment to global interreligious dialogue and deepens its partnership with one of the world\u2019s oldest religious traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rev. Patricia Farris, Chair of CST\u2019s Board of Trustees, lauded the significance of this milestone. \u201cThis professorship will facilitate the exchange of ideas, create new knowledge, and train graduate students to ensure the continued study and relevance of the ancient Jain religion,\u201d Farris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Emeritus and Professor of Hebrew Bible, Rev. Dr. Kah-Jin Jeffrey Kuan, also spoke, describing CST\u2019s long standing partnership with the Jain community as \u201cone of the greatest honors and joys of [his] academic career,\u201d and celebrated the moment as \u201cthe culmination of a long friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen established, Claremont School of Theology was the first ecumenical seminary of The United Methodist Church,\u201d Rev. Farris reflected. \u201cThat early work across the Christian community soon evolved into our interfaith commitments\u2014with Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Jain partners\u2014across interreligious, intercultural, and global contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Kuan traced the origins of this collaboration to 2011, when Dr. Philip Clayton, then CST\u2019s Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, initiated conversations with members of the Jain community including Dr. Sulekh Jain, Mr. Dilip Shah, and Dr. Nitin Shah, who now serves on CST\u2019s Board of Trustees. He also acknowledged Dr. Brianne Donaldson\u2014then a CST doctoral student\u2014for her early and ongoing contributions to the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since those early conversations, the Jain community has become an invaluable partner to CST, supporting scholarships for students to study Jainism in India through the International School of Jain Studies (ISJS), funding international conferences, and sponsoring annual courses in Jain studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Sulekh Jain, past president of JAINA, also addressed the gathering.&nbsp; \u201cOn behalf of all my Jain friends, I extend my deepest gratitude to all of you\u2014especially President Kuan and Hagiya ji\u2014for believing in us and for your steadfast support. Your commitment to this journey has been unwavering,\u201d Dr. Jain said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CST President Grant Hagiya reflected on the broader significance of the partnership and the values the Jain tradition has added to our educational enterprise. \u201cIn our world and society of radical polarization and harm, the subject of forgiveness is critical for us to teach and live out in our daily lives. Dr. Venu Mehta and Dr. Jeffrey Kuan bring our two great religious traditions together to demonstrate that we have so much more in common than any minor differences. This is the greater vision that our coming together today represents: that we can join together under the values that our world so desperately needs: compassion, justice, and belonging,\u201d CST President Hagiya said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The endowment is made possible by the generous contributions of 20 families and foundations through the hard work of Dr. Nitin Shah and Dr. Jasvant Modi. CST&#8217;s President Emeritus Dr. Jeffrey Kuan and his wife Mrs. Valentine Toh also contributed to this endowment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, CST would like to express its deep gratitude and thanks to JCSC for hosting and providing not only the space but also lunch to all gathered.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-id=\"44690\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2154-edited-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Nitin Shah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-id=\"44691\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2173-edited-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mrs. Sushama Parekh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-id=\"44692\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2460-edited-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Jasvant Modi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-id=\"44693\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cst.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7J1A2497-edited-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>(from left to right):<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Brianne Donaldson, Dr. Venu Mehta, Dr. Nitin Shah, Dr. Sulekh Jain, Mrs. Ravi Jain, Rev.
