Description
The fellowship is designed to bring together 10 evangelical and evangelical-adjacent scholar-practitioners who are committed to modeling how evangelicals can contribute to and learn from a religiously pluralist U.S. society. Fellows participate in gatherings (including an in-person convening at the Interfaith Leadership Summit in Chicago), collaborative projects, and produce public scholarship such as essays that highlight the intersections of evangelical faith and civic pluralism. The program aims to cultivate a community of faith-rooted thought leaders, equip participants to serve as bridgebuilders in a polarized environment, and develop resources that promote religious pluralism within Christian communities.
