Dear Friend,

Religious belief and practice in America are both in decline, and the rate of religious non-affiliation has never been higher. Religious freedom itself faces serious threats from powerful parts of our culture, government, and private industry. As you’ll see in our Annual Report ([link removed]) , our scholars seek to guide religious institutions and leaders through their struggles with a politicized culture. I hope you’ll take the time to read the whole report, but here are some of the most exciting ways EPPC has renewed the robust moral and cultural foundations needed to sustain a society that is both free and virtuous:

** Renewing Culture in 2023
------------------------------------------------------------

In February, Crossway released Social Conservatism for the Common Good, a major volume of essays edited by Andrew T. Walker and featuring contributions from Carl R. Trueman and Jennifer Marshall Patterson. Walker and his contributors explore faith and reason, natural-law theory, and the prospects for collaboration across ideological lines to make the thought of Princeton University professor and EPPC board member Robert P. George accessible to a Protestant audience.

Through an extensive program of publications, media interviews, and public appearances—well over 200 in 2023 alone—the scholars of the Catholic Studies program, led by George Weigel, serve as a prominent reference point for government officials, members of Congress, and journalists seeking to understand the social doctrine of the Catholic Church and its application to public policy.

In 2023, the Theology of Home Project, led by Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering, marked six years as a highly trusted resource for those seeking to reclaim the beauty of home and family life and to fight back against the ideologies that threaten them with the release of a fourth book, Arranging the Seasons, exploring the deeper questions of life, family, love, and God that animate our efforts to cultivate the earth.

Nathanael Blake has collaborated with Alexandra DeSanctis on a forthcoming major report summarizing the policies of Fortune 100 companies, such as provisions for paid family leave, and evaluating how well they support a culture of life for their employees.

We’re profoundly grateful for the friendship of our supporters. Thanks to your generosity, our work in 2023 had an outsized influence. As we move forward through the unique challenges and opportunities of the coming election, EPPC is prepared to fight―with intellectual rigor and civility―for the common good and the long-term flourishing of our nation.
