The Quiet Revolution e President’s Faith-Based and Community Initiative: A Seven-Year Progress Report
"On January 29, 2001, President George W. Bush signed the fi rst two Executive Orders of his Administration, creating the White House Offi ce of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) and similar offi ces within fi ve Federal agencies. The President’s goal was to eliminate government barriers inhibiting partnerships with faith-based and grassroots charities and to strengthen the work of America’s armies of compassion in tackling society’s toughest problems.

Exactly seven years later, on January 29, 2008, President Bush visited the Jericho Program in Baltimore to commemorate the profound changes his Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI) has brought to government, the nonprofi t sector, communities, and individual lives both at home and abroad. This report chronicles the remarkable progress achieved during the past seven years, as the President’s
signature compassion agenda moved from vision to reality."
