2005 Centurions Program

FROM THE WILBERFOCE FORUM: Thank you for your interest in the Centurions Program. The application process for our 2005 program has changed from the previous year. Rather than taking open applications from the general public, we are targeting key leadership in 7 major culture-shaping institutions to recruit as applicants to the program. We will select 108 Centurions - 12 applicants from each of the first 6 groups listed below and 36 from the last one:

- Multi-media (film, television, internet and video game industries)
- News media
- Music industry
- Law/Government (Legislators, public policy makers, lobbyists, criminal justice officials)
- Education (particularly professors in higher education institutions)
- Business
- The Church (12 for each of the following groups: pastors and key lay leadership; seminary professors; para-church staff responsible for training other leaders within their organization)

Centurions make a lifelong commitment to take what they have learned and teach others as well as take what they have learned and shape culture by living out a biblical worldview in their sphere of influence. Therefore, Centurions must be experienced teachers or gifted at imparting knowledge and learning to others. This program is not for personal enrichment. It is designed for people who are committed to influencing culture by teaching others how to do so and by changing the inside culture and message output of the industry or sphere in which they work.

If you or someone you know should be considered to apply for the Centurions Program, please submit their name, address, phone number, email, sphere of influence with regard to culture shaping institutions listed above, and a brief explanation of why they should be considered. Send the information to Centurions Program, The Wilberforce Forum, 1856 Old Reston Avenue, Reston, VA 20190 or Martha_Anderson@pfm.org. If we determine that this candidate should be considered for the program, we will send an application in early September.

Let me know if you have any questions about this excellent program.
