The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life

Official Website: http://www.pewforum.org

Supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts and co-directed by Jean Bethke Elshtain, Laura Spelman Rockefeller Professor of Social and Political Ethics, and E.J. Dionne, Jr., Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life seeks to promote a deeper understanding of how religion shapes the ideas and institutions of American society. At a time of heightened interest in religion's public role and responsibilities, the forum bridges the worlds of scholarship, public policy, and journalism by creating a platform for research and discussion of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs.
