Between 2007-2012 £12m was invested by two research councils, the AHRC and ESRC, in the largest-ever funded research programme on ‘Religion and Society’.Now leading academics will present findings arising from that research, for response by public figures. Together they will open up debate about the place of religion in public life today.
