"All activities of the Venn Institute will be centered on advancing religious freedom for all. A nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization, the Venn Institute seeks to educate the global church about the importance of religious freedom for all, generate new ideas to address the rising tide of violations, and advocate for change with policymakers. Within its work, Venn also serves as a bridge between religious groups and the foreign policy establishment, translating information about abuses into policy recommendations, working in interfaith coalitions, as well as equipping advocates in the field for action. Venn's interlocking and strategic emphasis on education, ideas, and advocacy will build synergistic momentum for concrete results."
