The Center for Public Justice (CPJ) will hold our 26th Annual Kuyper lecture, delivered by Rachel Hope Anderson, J.D.  on the topic “Who’s Caring for Children?” on Thursday, October 5.

Rachel Hope Anderson (Hope & Consulting) has extensive experience at the intersection of faith and early childhood policy.  She founded and serves as strategic advisor to the Families Valued program at the Center for Public Justice and served as the Primary Investigator for CPJ’s three state studies on faith-based child care. Previously, she served as the director of faith affairs at the Center for Responsible Lending where she formed and led a cross-ideological religious coalition to reign in predatory payday lending. Ms. Anderson brings a background in community organizing, advocacy, and spiritual formation to her consulting work and is committed to the practice of pluralism—helping those with deep differences to work together with mutual respect toward a shared common good. She is a graduate of Harvard Law and Divinity Schools.

Ms. Anderson’s remarks will be followed by a discussion featuring Dr. Stanley Carlson-Thies, Founder and Senior Director of the Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance at the Center for Public Justice.
