About God & Governing

The God & Governing project emerged during the 2015 session of the Texas Legislature, as it became evident that discussions of God and faith were underscoring a greater share of political discourse — and disagreement — than in the recent past. The Tribune invited lawmakers to discuss how faith influenced their public policy decisions.
