Statement from the Faith & Politics Institute’s Board of Directors and Staff
on the Passing of Congressman John Robert Lewis
“Congressman John Robert Lewis graced public service with a revolutionary kind of love that was the heart of the American Civil Rights Movement. He never gave in to hatred and divisiveness in politics. He despised injustice and unkind behavior, and he never lost or abandoned hope for the redemption of anyone. He taught his Congressional colleagues to never give up, and never give in on matters of justice. He was always working toward that more perfect union.
The Faith & Politics Institute cultivates mutual respect, moral reflection, increased understanding, and honest conversation among political leaders to advance productive discourse and constructive collaboration.
