In 2026–27, Theos celebrates 20 years of shaping public debate on religion and society. Since its founding, Theos has worked to deepen public understanding of how faith shapes our common life: through research, public engagement, and convening thoughtful conversation across difference. Theos at 20 will comprise a year–long programme of lectures, events, and ideas that looks ahead as much as it looks back, asking how faith, values, and moral reasoning can contribute to a more humane, trustworthy, and hopeful public life in the decades to come.
