What is Theos

An organisation that Bible Society works with is Theos which is a public theology think tank which exists to undertake research and provide commentary on social and political arrangements. It aims to impact opinion around issues of faith and belief in society. It was launched in November 2006 with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. Its first report "Doing God": A Future for Faith in the Public Square examined the reasons why faith will play an increasingly significant role in public life.

What Theos provides

Theos undertakes its work through:

* a research and publishing programme,

* conferences, seminars and lectures,

* outreach to university, college and school students,

* news, information and analysis to media companies and other opinion formers, with a one-stop information line available to journalists,

* regular email bulletins,

* other related activities. 

In addition to our independently driven work, Theos provides research, analysis and advice to individuals and organisations across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Our unique position within the think tank sector means that we have the capacity to develop proposals that carry values - with an eye to demonstrating what really works. Our staff and consultants have strong public affairs experience, an excellent research track record and a high level of theological literacy. We are practised in campaigning, media relations, detailed policy development and effecting policy change.
