The Faith & Citizenship research initiative is about the formation of citizens. Through the research we develop, we ask the question, "What is a good citizen?" and try to provide meaningful answers in many different contexts. With the unique breadth of Reformed resources on citizenship at our disposal, we seek to deepen this tradition further still, sharpening our understanding of what it means to be Christian citizens in our own country and around the world.
