Empathy in Christian and Public Life

The partnership with Ideos Institute’s Center for Empathy in Christian and Public Life (CECPL) will equip young Christians in academia, faith-based-institutions, and public life, to engage in the complex issues of our modern society faithfully. This project aims to support emerging leaders, with an emphasis on leaders from BIPOC communities, within the American Christian faith tradition to embody love in their communities through a community of practice initiative. The intended outcomes of CECPL’s work are to decrease polarization, grow empathy, build unity, increase human flourishing, and catalyze leaders in the American Church to engage in American civic life as faithful followers of Jesus.
