Shaping debate on religion in public life.

Networks

Introduction

The William Temple Foundation is connected to an increasing number of networks and partnerships. Our approach seeks to bring together faith-based organisations, academics, clergy, community activists, public policy makers and secular groups to create spaces for discussion and deep-thinking on the role of religion in public life. In this way we spark and share ideas which inform both our own, and our partners’ research. Through these networks and partnerships we offer teaching, training and conferences, and supervision of doctoral research.

If you would like to suggest a partnership opportunity or to add the William Temple Foundation to your network, we’d be happy to discuss this with you.

The Faiths & Civil Society Unit at Goldsmiths, University of London is a centre of excellence linking research, policy and practice in the field of faith-based social action.

Crucible Journal is the Christian journal of social ethics, published by SCM Press. It is co-sponsored by the William Temple Foundation and edited by the Foundation’s Associate Research Fellows John Atherton and John Reader.

Ethical Futures is a global network of scholars and practitioners founded by the Foundation exploring theology, ethics and politics in the light of both climate change and the post-digital

The Religion and Belief Policy Network is a four-nation initiative resourced with financial support from the AHRC and based at the Faiths and Civil Society Unit, Goldsmiths
