Promoting reflection and research on important public issues to which Christian theology can make a constructive contribution. Founded in 1984 as the world's first centre for research on public theology, the Centre for Theology and Public Issues (CTPI) brings together theologians, colleagues from other academic disciplines, faith leaders, policymakers and the public to consider current and future issues that affect society. The Centre extends this dialogue through research and disseminates its findings through seminars, public events and publications. Topics of particular interest include poverty and welfare, justice and the penal system, peace and international security, suicide and public health, finance and ethics, national identity, devolution and citizenship.
