William Temple Foundation in partnership with Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) and the University of Notre Dame London Programme. This conference will launch an international search for Radical Hope and open up questions and debates relevant to faith based organisations in the public square and their response to poly-crises. The conference will be a hybrid gathering to reflect the conditions and spaces of engagement that make up the public square in the 21st Century. The gathering will explore questions of freedom of religion and belief in the public square, truth and propaganda, and the role that dialogue can play in developing shared values in the public square.

Our democracy is in poor health. Trust and satisfaction with political parties and government is at an all time low and the gap between people and power is growing wider by the day.
But it’s not a strongman leader people want to change this. It’s more citizen involvement in democracy. This is according to brand new polling from More in Common for Power to Change.
Power to Change’s new report, Closing the void, explores whether people who are involved in associational organisations – like community businesses and working men’s clubs – are more likely trust democratic institutions than those who are not. Join us, and a panel of political and community experts to hear more about this research and how we can rebuild trust in democracy from the ground up.
