Dr. James W. Skillen: Wheaton College, Westminster Theological Seminary, Free University of Amsterdam, and Duke University, directed the Center for Public Justice, a Christian political think tank in Washington, DC, from 1981 to 2009. which he helped found in 1977. He taught political philosophy and international relations at three Christian colleges from 1973 to 1982. He is author/editor of fourteen books including In Pursuit of Justice (2004), The Good of Politics (2014), and most recently God’s Sabbath with Creation (2019)

The Association for Public Justice (APJ ) is building a non-partisan movement of Christians committed to bring grace and more nuanced perspectives into the complex conversation of Christian political engagement; an engagement that moves beyond voting to wise, civil advocacy for justice. We believe that our Christian faith has something essential to contribute in this moment. Christian citizenship requires discipleship, relational-work, and deliberation in community. It extends beyond political cycles of outrage and victory to seek God’s enduring justice for all.

We are considering starting an APJ chapter in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Come join us Saturday morning to explore with us what Faithful Public Engagement might look like in our communities and how this might be achieved.
