Openings for 2010 Internships

The Trinity Forum has competitive openings for highly substantive summer internships at our Washington, DC headquarters. Internships are voluntary (unpaid) and offer candidates an extraordinary opportunity for experience in fulfilling the mission and initiatives of the Trinity Forum. We especially seek candidates with skills in one or more of the following areas: web/print design, marketing, fundraising/development, database management, writing, and research.

Interns will work alongside staff on essential projects and will see the results of their work incorporated into the operations of the Trinity Forum. For graduate and post-graduate students, the internship will also include the opportunity to develop and implement a substantive, long-term project that will match their interests with the needs of the organization.

The Trinity Forum’s DC office is located in the center of downtown Washington, DC, at 2011 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and is easily accessible by Metro and bus. Interns are expected to secure their own housing arrangements. Full-time as well as part-time internships are available.

Four Reprints

We have just released new printings of two of our popular Trinity Forum Reading booklets—our first title, Leo Tolstoy’s Two Old Men and Victor Hugo’s The Purchase of a Soul (from Les Misérables). Both titles now include discussion guides and come in our new, smaller size. (Our best-selling William Wilberforce: A Man Who Changed His Times by John Pollock has also recently been reprinted.)

In addition, the Study Series edition of When No One Sees, our curriculum on character, is now available again, as is the discounted Study Series collection.

You can order these and other titles at our online store.

New Reading Booklet and Gift Collections

The newest Trinity Forum Reading is The Strangest Story in the World by G. K. Chesterton with a foreword by the Trinity Forum’s Founding Chairman and Senior Fellow, Alonzo L. McDonald. The Reading features excerpts from The Everlasting Man, Chesterton’s celebrated and unconventional take on human history.

The Everlasting Man was first released in 1925 and has had an enduring influence—not least as a primary intellectual milestone in the conversion of C. S. Lewis. Our selections include Chesterton’s main arguments that focus on two things that are “altogether strange and unique” in our experience: “The first of these is the creature called man, and the second is the man called Christ.” He follows humanity from the first evidences of the cave-man to the birth of Christ—“the God in the cave” at Bethlehem—and the dawn of a new world. As McDonald reminds us in his Foreword, “this is, as Chesterton readily admits, the strangest story in the world, made stranger still by the history of the church that has followed.”

The booklet is 40 pages and includes a discussion guide. It will be shipping in November 2009. You can order copies now at our online store.

We are also pleased to introduce three small thematic collections of our Trinity Forum Readings booklets—Great Questions, Great Answers, and Great Courage. The new collections are priced at $20 or less and join our other discounted Readings sets—Great Stories, Great Thoughts, Great Lives, and the full collections of in-print Readings. Don’t forget that the larger Great Stories, Great Thoughts, and Great Lives collections also include one of our elegant slipcases.

The Great Questions Collection offers five titles that raise the deep human questions while leaving space for answers to emerge. The Great Answers Collection includes five Readings about Jesus. And the Great Courage Collection focuses on faith that can endure deep trials. You can read more about these collections and our other resources at our online store.

May 2009

The one sure thing about mortal existence is that it will end; the moment we are born, we begin to die. This basic fact of death is today highly unpalatable, to the point that extraordinary efforts are made, linguistically and in every other way, to keep death out of sight and mind. . . . Death becomes the dirty little secret that sex once was.
