Short paragraph (100–200 words)

The Centre for Public Dialogue promotes a positive voice of Christian faith in Canadian public life that seeks justice, hope, and reconciliation in political dialogue, and active citizenship. We are Reformed Christians who believe that every person is created in the image of Creator God. From this foundation, we work to promote the flourishing of all people through constructive dialogue and advocacy in Canada. We believe that God calls all Canadians to be engaged citizens and to stand with vulnerable and marginalized people in our communities as allies. As Christian citizens, we work toward a just world in which structures and institutions give every person the opportunity to thrive.

We do careful research and engage in conversation with church members and politicians to formulate constructive ideas and advocate for policies that promote the good of all people. We encourage and help churches to listen to the voices of marginalized people and advocate for these policies as well. We believe that the best policy solutions come from respectful, principled dialogue between marginalized people, politicians, civil society, churches and faith groups, and citizens.

We offer resources for advocacy, education and mobilization which churches and individuals can use to engage with justice issues that are important to them and their local communities. This includes advocacy campaigns and training, workshops on biblical justice and political dialogue, and worship guides that include prayers, songs, and sermon resources.
