Overview
The Faith & Politics Institute seeks to inspire the nation’s political leaders by bringing them together around their shared values and commitment to public service in order to advance an effective democracy. FPI promotes a three-point model of transformational leadership and relationship cultivation that includes opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and other experiences for elected and appointed political leaders and senior staff. In working with political leaders, FPI strives to move from ideological, racial, values-based, regional, and class divisions and the exploitation of these divides in politics to reflection, dialogue and reconciliation, and from bitter partisanship to civil, constructive engagement.

The Faith and Politics Institute works to advance thoughtful leadership in Congress that is rooted in the values of mutual respect and understanding. The Institute brings members and congressional staff together across political, racial, and religious differences to promote productive discourse and encourage meaningful cooperation. This grant for general operating support would allow the Institute to expand and communicate its activities with a goal of increased participation in and impact of Faith and Politics offerings, including reflection groups, dialogues, and shared experiences such as the pilgrimage to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Selma’s Bloody Sunday, and other domestic and international pilgrimages.
