The Christophers are a
Christian inspirational group that was founded in 1945 by
Father James Keller. The name of the group is derived from the Greek word "christophoros", which means "Christ-bearer". Although the founders were
Maryknoll priests, and the Roman Catholic orientation is overt, The Christophers preach a doctrine of religious tolerance and intend their publications to be generally relevant to those of all faiths.
