To address the need for transformational Christian leaders who are prepared to help their communities live faithfully and thrive as they seek to welcome and live into this collective calling, the Center for Reconciliation has developed a fellows program at both the masters and doctoral levels.

The Fellows for Reconciliation are identified by the director and staff of the CFR from the incoming or enrolled body of M.Div./M.T.S./M.A.C.P./Th.M. students. This program seeks to identify promising leaders passionate about transformation and reconciliation, offering mentoring and other forms of support in exchange for the fellows' leadership and service assisting the work of the CFR. The term of the fellowship is one year with the possibility of annual renewal for a maximum of four years.

The fellows benefit from all the opportunities of being a student at Duke Divinity School. In addition, Fellows for Reconciliation are enriched in the following ways:

• Mentoring support through monthly gatherings with faculty and peers
• Opportunities for supporting theology and ministry both locally and internationally
• Opportunities for participating in pilgrimages both locally and internationally
• Opportunities for financial support to attend conferences

Fellows for Reconciliation are gifts to the Duke Divinity community and are expected to contribute to the life and work of the CFR. The exact responsibilities are determined in conversation with the director and staff of the CFR.  The following are examples of these responsibilities:

• Attending monthly meetings with the CFR team and other fellows
• Attending the events of the CFR
• Participating in the Berean Cohort for at least one academic year
• Supporting CFR programs like Summer Institute, GLI, NARI or AITR
• Providing logistical support and coordination for specific events
• Providing research/networking support for the CFR team
• Contributing to the spiritual formation of the Berean Cohort and/or other programs of the CFR
