The Cardus education survey research project on the culture shaping impact of christian education in the us and canada originally began as a two year pilot project in 2009.

Comment is one of the core publications of Cardus, a think tank devoted to renewing north american social architecture, rooted in 2000 years of christian social thought. In our print and online essays and reviews we zoom in on the multiple components that make up this "social architecture": the institutions that serve as the scaffolding and skeleton of social life. It's our families and financial systems, politics and education, museums and labour unions, and much more.
