Too often when Christians gather for an event concerning politics, the general public assumes it’s about them, but rarely thinks it’s for them. Our Summit sends a clear message: Christians will no longer be mindlessly drafted into a political sectarianism that rewards contempt, fear, and calloused anger. Instead, we will gather with joyful confidence in what we have to offer in loving service to our neighbors, and we invite the public to the conversation.
"For the Good of the Public" offers an annual opportunity to hear from leading voices on issues of public importance, and to consider the resources Christianity has to offer for the public good.
See below for a recap of our 2023 Inaugural Summit.
