The core mission of the Augustinian Centre for Religion and the Public Square (ACRPS) to help shape and nurture a new attitude towards the place of faith and belief in policy and political discourse through the academy and into the wider public sphere. These discussion forums are one of the ways to accomplish this goal. It is deliberately non-partisan and seeks primarily, as Augustine argued for in The Two Cities, the peace of all through the work of the state and of its people.
