Nurturing hearts and minds for public service

Who we are

Ecumenical Commons is an urgent mission to nurture the inner life and moral imagination of people working in public service, on Capitol Hill and across the public interest sector.

Driven by the belief that healthy democratic institutions necessitate a grounded, sustained workforce, we facilitate pastoral accompaniment for congressional staff and convene events that offer humanizing alternatives to abstract, market-driven policy conversations.

Our offerings

  • Ecumenical Economics

    Ecumenical Economics convenes conversations about how economics can treat human beings not as a means to an end, but as ends in themselves.

  • Staff Clarity

    Staff Clarity creates spaces for congressional staff to reflect on vocation and ethics with a concern for burnout.
