Perhaps its most important work, the BJC is involved in ongoing education
efforts through developing resources and by leading education programs on
Capitol Hill and for organizations and churches across the nation.
The BJC's resources include printed material such as issue background sheets, a
monthly newsletter and Internet resources such as a Web site and continually
updated blog. The monthly newsletter, Report
from the Capital,
provides a helpful look at news and opinions on the church-state front. The magazine
includes analysis by executive director J. Brent
Walker and general counsel K. Hollyn Hollman, as well as news
summaries. The BJC provides information regularly about specific religious
liberty issues, including one-page issue summaries and advocacy guides.
The BJC's Web site is located at www.BJConline.org ,
the blog can be found at www.BJConline.org/blog.
We're also on facebook, twitter, flickr and vimeo. The Web site offers
descriptions of important church-state issues, links to the social networking
tools and also access to the various resources and publications for easy
download. It provides short videos on the BJC's work and how the organization
relates to Congress, the courts and churches.
In
addition to the printed and web resources, the BJC also leads educational programs on Capitol Hill (for congressional staffs, other
organizations and think tanks) and in churches (including preaching sermons and teaching Sunday school). The BJC also serves as a
resource when pastors or other civic leaders have particular church-state
questions.
The BJC encourages academic study of religious liberty and church-state
relations and has collected the course syllabi from related courses from
colleges and seminaries across the nation. Not only that, the BJC sponsors an
annual essay contest for high school students, a thriving year-round intern
program and religious liberty awards recognizing individuals who make
extraordinary contributions to promoting religious liberty.
