About

The Evangelicals in Civic Life program seeks to strengthen reporting on and deepen the level of commentary about the impact of religious conviction and religiously grounded moral argument in American politics and public life. It also researches the role the evangelical community plays in American politics and public life. This program describes the civic and political activities of evangelicals, taking a look at the broad array of organizations, leaders and members as well as bringing evangelical leaders together to discuss more effective civic involvement. Finally, it attempts to convey to those inside and outside the evangelical community the precise nature of evangelical civil engagement.

Under the direction of EPPC's vice president Michael Cromartie, this program hosts seminars and meetings throughout the year both for religious leaders and media professionals. The Evangelicals in Civic Life program also publishes with the intent of promoting serious reporting on religion and religious communities in public life in an attempt to increase the nuance and sophistication of reporting on this subject. Mr. Comartie is widely consulted for commentary and analysis on American evangelical political thought and activity.

Can Civilization Survive Without God?

Christopher Hitchens (a prominent atheist and columnist for Vanity Fair) and his brother Peter (a well-regarded Christian author) recently squared off in a debate over whether or not civilization can survive without God. This discussion was hosted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and moderated by EPPC Vice President Michael Cromartie. During the debate the brothers discussed morality, the science and origin of moral conscience, and the affect religious, specifically Christian, morality has on a civilization.

For more than ten years, EPPC Vice President Michael Cromartie's Faith Angle Forum has brought together a select group of nationally respected journalists and distinguished scholars for in-depth discussions of some of the most crucial issues facing Americans today. Twice yearly, in South Beach, Miami, the Forum holds a two-day conference to discuss these important dimensions of our public life in a serious fashion, miles removed from Washington's ideological battlefields.
