Ray Pennings, co-founder and executive vice president of Cardus, marks the institute's 25th anniversary by discussing the think-tank's unique policy approach through the lens of faith, community, and principled pluralism. He also explains why Cardus starts every policy question with human dignity, how religious communities greatly contribute to social value, and why the space between individual and state—filled by families, faith groups, and civil society—matters more than ever.
