The Center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University is currently accepting applications for its 2026 Faith and Justice Summer Academy. At a moment when authoritarian movements are gaining ground and democratic norms are eroding both at home and abroad, moral and courageous faith leadership is needed more than ever.
Since 2022, the Center on Faith and Justice has run a Summer Academy program designed specifically for pastors, seminarians, graduate students, and those serving in ministry at the intersection of faith and public life. The program equips participants with a faith-based vision and practical skills for effective civic engagement, advocacy, and nonviolent civil resistance. It serves as a bridge between academic theology and public prophetic witness and brings together participants across the diverse traditions and theologies of Christianity.
In addition to immersive experiences like congressional office meetings and engagement with members of Congress on Capitol Hill, participants will have workshops on a range of topics oriented around faith leadership and public life, rooted in the liberative tradition of faith-based advocacy and nonviolent resistance.Together, these experiences equip leaders to confront the forces of division and despair with a resilient, justice-oriented faith.
The in-person summer academy will be held June 14-18, 2025. The program cost is $3000, which includes all meals, lodging, and activities.
