For the Portico Blog of the Institute for Global Engagement, I wrote about why the formulation of so-called core objectives for citizenship education in secondary schools in the Netherlands offers a practical example of how the concept of covenantal pluralism is sometimes implemented in very concrete ways, even unconsciously:

The post is a follow-up to my recent article in The Review of Faith & International Affairs, “The Netherlands at the Crossroads: On the Need for a Covenantal Comeback for Principled Pluralism.”

The mission of the Institute for Global Engagement is to “[p]romote societal flourishing in nations by equipping citizens to engage, respect, and protect one another regardless of faith or none.”
