Our Story
The story of Trinity Forum Europe is told in the lives and work of those who have held the vision of challenging minds, changing lives and shaping society with Christian truths.
Al McDonald, Founder
In 1993, in the heart of the British countryside, the seed of a bold new venture was sown - Trinity Forum Europe - driven by the vision of a man who had seen the world from the top and was concerned by what he saw.
​
Alonzo McDonald began his journey in Depression-era Georgia, ending up in the heights of global business, politics, and academia. This gave him a unique perspective on an enduring problem.
A marine corps veteran, McKinsey’s Global Managing Partner, a senior White House official under President Jimmy Carter and a Harvard Business School faculty member, McDonald had climbed the ladders of power. But what he saw from the top left him restless: a leadership class often adrift, lacking moral and spiritual grounding.
​
A quarter of a century later Trinity Forum Europe is still challenging minds, changing lives and shaping society with Christian truth.
Rev Jonathan Aitken, former Director
The Rev Jonathan Aitken was once a leading figure in British public life: an Eton and Oxford educated author, Conservative MP, Cabinet Minister and confidante to power.
In the 1990s and at the height of his career, he had a dramatic fall from favour - from Westminster to prison. There he discovered his need for the grace of God and found his ministry in serving others.
His story is a powerful one of redemption and it informed nearly two decades that followed as Director of Trinity Forum Europe until 2025.

Jonathan continues as an advisor to the current team as they continue to build today.
