Faith and Global Engagement was officially launched at the University of Hong Kong with an inaugural address by Tony Blair in 2012. Our two-fold purpose is to engage the academy and the public on issues of faith in contemporary society, and to equip students with the religious literacy needed to negotiate a globalized post-secular world and with the character to build flourishing communities within such a world. In 2020, FGE joined HKU’s Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Our work revolves around flourishing: faith and flourishing.
