As McNulty introduced Pence, he denounced “the forces of secularization” and called for an increased Christian presence in public institutions, including government.

According to the college, the center will “expand awareness of the historic relationship between religious belief and public life; explore ways to integrate faith in public policy and service; and strengthen opportunities for Christian engagement in public life.”

The center also will examine issues relating to business, education and media.

As a visiting fellow, Pence will participate in events, interact with students and teach a course with McNulty next year.

The Center for Faith & Public Life will operate as part of The Institute for Faith & Freedom.
