Faith in Public Life (FPL) is an American political lobby group formed by Presbyterian Christians that is focused on influencing state and federal government policies. Based in Washington, D.C., it was founded by Reverend Jennifer Butler and aims to influence policies relating to racial equality, immigration, healthcare, the economy, voting rights, women's equality, and LGBTQ rights. FPL experienced an increase in popularity following the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Faith in Public Life originated in 2005 by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive policy think tank. CAP's first president and CEO, John Podesta, spoke often about how his faith informs his politics, and worked with a little-known group, Res Publica, to draft a report on the future of the progressive faith movement. The report recommended an independent entity that would act on its own as well as coordinate efforts with other religious groups. It was envisioned as "a sort of organizational anchor for the Religious left, a strategy hub that would coordinate disparate groups and develop overarching media strategies for campaigns." CAP hired Jennifer Butler, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and spun it off as an independent organization in 2008. More information...
