Westminster Abbey Institute

Westminster Abbey is one of the world’s great churches, with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Its place on Parliament Square with the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary on the other three sides gives it a unique opportunity to offer compassionate, reflective and challenging space and time to those who serve the nation.

Westminster Abbey Institute aims to nurture and revitalise moral and spiritual values in public life and service. It seeks to replenish and sustain public servants of all faiths and none, and to celebrate and animate public service as a force for good. The Institute draws on Westminster Abbey’s resources of spirituality and theological learning, rooted in its daily worshipping life and broader Christian tradition, to convene discussion, nourish reflection and inspire regeneration.
