Faith & Law is a volunteer, nonprofit organization that
helps congressional staff better understand the implications
of the Christian worldview for their calling to the public square,
through monthly lectures, bi-monthly reading groups, and
the semi-annual "Great Objects Day" conference.

Beyond Supplementation:
Faith & Law Reading Groups
Led by current or veteran senior staff from Capitol Hill,
reading groups meet twice a month to discuss a short essay or
article on topics in faith and law. Though a brilliant lecture
is helpful, even the best can raise more questions than answers.
The truth, with all its implications, takes time in community to digest.
Because of this, we get together in reading groups to discsuss honestly
even the most difficult issues, helping each other make sense of our
calling to the public square.
