Yale Center for Faith and Culture

Yale Center for Faith and Culture

"Our mission at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture is to explore ways to counter these two distressingly widespread malfunctions of faith by helping people practice their faith responsibly in all spheres of life. We engage in that mission in two principal ways. The first is research. We want to understand how faith functions in contemporary societies, and we want to make informed decisions about how it should be brought to bear on important issues of the day. We are interested in generating new ideas, but we are not satisfied merely to place them on library shelves or in electronic databases as intellectual resources. We want to help give ideas “legs,” so as to help shape people and the institutions they work in and lead. Hence, leadership development is the second way in which we pursue our mission."
