We give christians hope and a plan to navigate conflict with courage and love.
The colossian forum (tcf) takes its name and inspiration from the apostle paul's stunning proclamation in colossians 1:17 that "all things hold together in christ." today, in a time of deep divisions between christians, st. Paul's six words change everything. They reveal that all reality is ultimately united in jesus-and therefore all divisions and animosities are reconciled in him. Tcf is dedicated to reclaiming this liberating truth and proclaiming it to all christians who are divided. Since tcf's founding, we have primarily done this work by inviting people into conversations on contentious topics through the hosting of public and private forums, providing educational resources, and offering christian scholarship. In 2022, we launched a new program aimed at church, christian school, and nonprofit organization leadership. This program, called wayfinder, aims to extend our mission into the life of a church, school, or business. The program trains and coaches leaders in practices of christian conflict transformation with the aim of building an intentional and invitational culture around conflict. Wayfinder delivers both hope in the face of confict and practical and effective tools that leaders can use to collectively engage conflict in their communities in ways that grow love of god and neighbor.
