Center for Public JusticeCenter for Public Justice

The Center for Public Justice is an independent organisation for policy research and civic education, whose mission is to equip citizens, develop leaders, and shape policy. The Center is committed to public service that responds to God's call to do justice in local, national, and international affairs. The Center for Public Justice believes that Christians should contribute to the renewal of political life. Also the Center for Public Justice wants to encourage officeholders and citizens to take their civic responsibilities seriously.

The Center is neither linked to the Republican nor Democrat party but is trying to promote Christian-democrat thought in the USA and abroad. The Center for Public Justice approaches government and citizenship from a wide-ranging, comprehensive perspective. The Center seeks to do justice from a Christian-democratic perspective by recognizing different religions and points of view and keeping the public square open to people of all or no faiths. The Center believes government's authority is not limitless and that it should respect the responsibilities and rights of individuals and organizations. They seek to act with a comprehensive, constitutional concern for political life in all of its dimensions-domestic as well as international.

The Center releases publications, organises courses and is also the organisation behind the international well-known yearly ‘Kuyper Lecture'. The Center has a newsletter ‘Capital Commentary' in which actual issues are commented from a Christian-democrat perspective.
