About the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life
The Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life was created at 涩里番下载 in 1999 with an endowment from Geoffrey T. Boisi 鈥�69 and his wife Rene (Isacco) Boisi 鈥�69. From the outset its mission has been to create opportunities where a community of scholars, policy makers, media, and religious leaders can connect in听conversation and scholarly reflection around issues at the intersection of religion and American public life. Our hope is that such conversations can clarify the moral consequences of public policies in ways that help to maintain the common good while respecting America鈥檚 increasing religious diversity.

Mission of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life
The Boisi Center is committed to fostering rigorous, civil, and constructive conversations about religion in American public life, in pursuit of the common good of a religiously diverse society.
