During politically polarized times, how do we follow the model that Jesus set in loving our enemies, being kind to those who speak falsehoods, turning the other cheek when we’re offended, standing as a peacemaker in the midst of conflict?
The Colossian Forum has developed an 8-session program to help Christians act wisely in these times of political animosity. Michael Gulker, the Founder, will take our group through their One Anothering curriculum so that we might learn and practice the Way of Jesus.
Who belongs? Men and women who want to learn how to hold others’ beliefs, whether or not they agree, and to be in relationship with others.
When do we meet? Once a week for 8 weeks, virtually, 60 minutes, early 2025, date and time TBD, followed by an in-person reunion at our next Annual Conference in September 2025.
Criteria to join our community events
- Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Give at least $200,000 a year to Christian causes. Though the number isn't a rigid threshold, it represents a proxy for the types of people who are asking and wrestling with the same questions around wise stewardship, giving well, avoiding pitfalls, raising the next generation, allocating resources, defining a family legacy, etc. People come to The Gathering to pursue relationships with peers who are exploring similar issues with a measure of humility, vulnerability, and trust.
