J.M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies

Established in 1957, the J. M. Dawson Institute strengthens the study of religion, politics, and society primarily through educational lectures, workshops, symposia, and intercultural conversation. As it endeavors to uphold the distinguished legacy of J. M. Dawson, the Institute is committed to the Baptist principle of the separation of Church and State and to protecting the inviolability of religious liberty for all people, of all faiths and no faith, around the world.
