Faith Angle Forum: Big Effects in Small Packages
Barbara Bryant, Philanthropy Magazine

"Sometimes donating to what looks like a small initiative can have a much more significant impact than you realize. Through his Faith Angle Forum, Michael Cromartie gathers a select group of distinguished scholars and nationally respected journalists-from places like the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and NPR-for in-depth discussions of some of the most crucial cultural issues facing American's today. Twice yearly, the forum holds a two-day conference to discuss religion and public life in a serious fashion, miles removed from Washington's ideological battlefields. When you think of the influence of the leading media, you understand how influential this small conference can be."
