The institute established the PM Glynn Lecture on Religion, Law and Public Life in 2017 to honour the contribution that Patrick McMahon Glynn made to our country, both as one of the Founding Fathers of the Commonwealth, and as a distinguished writer, lawyer and parliamentarian. The lecture is an annual event at which an eminent person is invited to address an important question at the intersection of religion, law and public life, with a view to significantly enhancing the quality of discussion of important matters of public policy.
