SOUTH DAKOTA FAITH IN PUBLIC LIFE is a group of religious leaders committed to respectful dialogue around controversial social and political issues.
Religion has an important role to play in the public square, particularly in moral matters of civic life at the local, state and national level. But in recent decades, religion has often been used in the service of partisan political agendas. When religious leaders engage in respectful, productive dialogue on divisive issues, we provide a model for citizens to engage in civil conversations, increasing capability for finding successful solutions that serve the common good.
