Welcome to a conversation exploring the nexus of policy, politics, culture, and religion in our society. Some of the questions we explore include:

• What is the role of religion–especially Christianity–in helping or hindering policymakers to establish policies that support a just and sustainable society for all people–and for the planet?
• What is the role of our social institutions–government, religious communities, families–in creating a society that is good for everyone?
• How do we celebrate the diversity of our world, while learning to live with each other effectively across cultural divides?
• What is the role of politics in helping to create a sane and just society in light of that diversity?
• What does the “common” good look like, and how can we make it real?

These are the questions that lie behind the reflections that we will post here. We welcome your reactions and your contributions to the conversation.
