Doors open at 6:30
Join the Center for Christian Civics and Christians for Social Action for a live look at how the Christian faith can equip us to make government healthier at the national (and international!) level.
The evening will feature a presentation on the work Christian Civics and CSA are doing together, an invitation to partner in our work, and an exclusive talk from economist Nishan de Mel of Verité Research on the fruit that gets produced when we leave behind culture war thinking and start loving God with all our mind in the public square.
Shaped and convicted by his Christian faith, Nishan de Mel has implemented a first-of-its-kind approach to government debt. Working with lenders, bondholders and the Sri Lankan government, Nishan and his team created a solution that incentivizes both the government and the lenders to fight corruption and increase government transparency.
