We’re grateful for Sacred Heart University’s report about the Lilly Network’s most recent National Conference, held on their campus on October 31-November 2, 2025. It was a time of deep reflection, friendship, and community, and Sacred Heart carried out the event with great care and hospitality. Read their article about it here.

This conference, hosted by Gordon College, provides Christian political scientists, historians, and sociologists with a unique forum to gather to explore the state of democracy in the US (and globally). The conference will feature stellar keynote addresses, paper panels, workshops, and roundtables. In addition, in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the conference also includes an optional Sunday afternoon excursion into nearby Boston to visit revolutionary sites. Gordon College, in Wenham, MA, is a short drive from historic Boston, and is located near beautiful beaches and woodlands. The Lilly Network is co-sponsoring this conference.
