Colson Fellows

Sir Isaac Newton, in a letter written in 1675 to fellow scientist Robert Hooke, wrote, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Chuck Colson was one of those giants for many of us, and it is our privilege to steward his legacy at the Colson Center.

In fact, Chuck believed that his most important legacy, more than any of the organizations he founded or the many books he authored, would be people. That’s why he started what he called the Centurions Program, something that continues today under a different name, the Colson Fellows program. 

One of the distinct characteristics of the Colson Fellows program is how many different strands of worldview and life are brought together and how desperately needed that integration is today in such a fragmented society. We have to learn not only to think and say what is true but live what is true, combining orthodoxy and orthopraxy. We need to do this in community with our brothers and sisters in the Church. There are so many more stories of Colson Fellows’ alumni I could share. If you’re interested in joining a Colson Fellows cohort near you, visit colsonfellows.org.
