The Trinity Forum (TTF) is a faith-based non-profit Evangelical Christian organization founded in 1991 by author and social critic Os Guinness[1] and American businessman and philanthropist Alonzo L. McDonald,[2] that fosters the development of networks of leaders who share its commitment to cultural renewal.
The current president of the Trinity Forum is Cherie Harder.[3] The Trinity Forum is also a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.[4]
History
Since its inception, the Trinity Forum has focused on providing leaders with the opportunity to engage Western texts and ideas through publications and private forums. Each forum leads participants in a Socratic dialogue. In 1993, the Trinity Forum Europe was formed. Since its founding, the Trinity Forum has facilitated hundreds of forums throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. The headquarters is located in Washington, DC.
The Trinity Forum maintains a relationship with the Osprey Point Retreat and Conference Center located near Saint Michaels on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Osprey Point is the home of the Trinity Fellows Academy, an initiative launched under the name Trinity Forum Academy in 1999 to identify young leaders. The Academy is a nine-month residential fellowship for young leaders to explore faith, society and ideas.
Trinity Forum Publications
Trinity Forum Curricula
Organized around a unifying question, Trinity Forum Curricula are anthologies of excerpted readings from classic and contemporary texts. Though they are designed for Forums, each reading in the curriculum is preceded by an introduction and followed by discussion questions that make them accessible to a wider audience.
Trinity Forum Readings
Published quarterly, Trinity Forum Readings are small booklets of between 30 and 50 pages featuring short biographies, essays, and stories. An original foreword provides background and context for the Reading, and relates the issues raised in the text to contemporary challenges.
