Thomas More Institute

for a more informed ethical engagement in public and professional life

The Thomas More Institute is a forum for challenging inadequate thinking about public policy. It offers a platform for ethical engagement with issues of contemporary intellectual and social concern and seeks to make a positive impact upon debate and decision-making. Its name is drawn from one who in his own time notably integrated private life, humanistic interests, professional work, public office and spirituality.
