The Iliff School of Theology today is pleased to announce the creation of the Institute for Religion, Politics & Culture. In addition to conducting research on the way public policy and legislative initiatives are shaped by religion, the Institute will provide programming and consulting to legislators, policy advocates, and the public. The Interfaith Alliance of Colorado is providing funding for the creation of the Institute.

Iliff welcomes Rev. Amanda Henderson as the Institute’s Director, effective January 1, 2021. Henderson has been the Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado for six years. Under her leadership, the Interfaith Alliance Colorado has become one of the most effective advocacy groups in Colorado and nationally.
