Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life

The goal of the Boisi Center is to create opportunities where a community of scholars, policy makers, media and religious leaders in the Boston area and nationally can connect in conversations and scholarly reflection around issues at the intersection of religion and American public life.

The hope is that such conversations can help to clarify the moral and normative consequences of public policies in ways that can help us to maintain the common good, while respecting our growing religious diversity.

The Boisi Center does not seek to advance any ideological agenda, whether liberal or conservative.

The Boisi Center puts together conferences and seminars at Boston College, including one in October 2007 on Gambling and the American Moral Landscape.

Alan Wolfe was the founding director of the Boisi Center.
