Charles Colson's Background
- Charles Colson was the chief counsel for President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973. He was implicated in the Watergate scandal. The crisis led to his conversion to Christ. He was never convicted on the Watergate matter, but plead guilty to obstruction of justice in another case and served seven months in Maxwell Correctional Facility in Alabama. Because of this experience he felt led to launch the ministry of Prison Fellowship, which has had a world-wide impact on convicts, victims of crime, and justice officers.
Colson is a profound thinker and a prolific writer: a true champion of the Christian faith. He is the author of more than 20 books, including How Now Shall We Live? He conducts a daily radio broadcast, BreakPoint, which airs on 1,000 radio networks. In 1993 Colson won the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.
Colson is also the chairman of the Wilberforce Forum, a Christian political and social think tank that promotes creationism, biotechnology and bioethics issues.
He is one of the primary writers of the Manhattan Declaration, a call for Christian conscience in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty.
