The Center for Reconciliation (CFR) engages in both local and global initiatives because God’s movement of transformation and reconciliation transcends borders—embracing what is both particular and universal. Through partnerships with institutions worldwide, the CFR seeks to contribute to the formation of leaders shaped by a mindset of transformation and reconciliation. These collaborations bring together scholars, practitioners, students, and other leaders for intellectually rigorous and socially relevant conversations that are theological, transdisciplinary, and deeply contextual. Together, we explore and advance the ongoing work of transformation and reconciliation across countries, languages, and cultures.
