Join Great Conversations as We Pursue Truth and Freedom Together
Hosted by The King’s College in New York City, The King’s Forum seeks to stir the great cities of the world by offering thoughtful and challenging conversations about ideas and debates that are shaping culture and discussing how the Gospel informs every aspect of society. Distinguished guest presenters will challenge audiences to think critically and examine ideas from differing points of view, so that participants will be spurred on to greater knowledge of their own faith and the faiths of others, with the goal of inspiring civic friendship and a deeper grasp of goodness, truth, beauty, and freedom.
American evangelist D.L. Moody
“Water runs downhill, and the highest hills in America are the great cities. If we can stir them we shall stir the whole country.”

“It was a honour to participate in a King’s Forum event. To be invited to speak in the heart of New York City about C.S. Lewis on life and death, war and peace, and many other things besides, was a great privilege. The interview with my host, Professor Loconte, was serious and searching, the questions from the audience members were thoughtful and challenging. Put simply: such intellectual and spiritual engagements are what universities exist for. King’s is to be loudly applauded for what it is achieving on this front.”
