The Centre's work has brought people from across Canada and Europe together to discuss the relationship between the techniques and purposes of key disciplines in society. Why do we do what we do as teachers, lawyers, doctors, journalists and business people? Are we inspired by something more than economic concerns and faith in the market?

The Centre for Cultural Renewal is the only organization in Canada that consistently produces provocative, nuanced, and insightful arguments concerning the importance of faith and philosophy to public life. Through newsletters, through hard-hitting and cutting-edge commentary on judicial decisions in Lexview, and through elegant symposia that convene scholars, politicians, journalists, and other notables for rigorous conversation about permanent questions and pressing issues of the day, the Centre provides a unique forum for the exchange of thoughtful opinion concerning the interpenetration of politics, culture, and faith in Canada's public life.... [The Centre's work] ... born of deep waters, brings a necessary tone of moderation to the clamorous folly and hubris so manifest in contemporary Canadian culture.
