Summary/Abstract: The Global Christian Forum was established in 1998 as a platform for open dialogue between major Christian confessions to discuss pressing challenges facing Christians today. The Polish Christian Forum finds its identity as drawn from the idea of the Global Christian Forum (www.globalchristianforum.org). The forum defines itself not as any new organization, association or union of the churches, but as a meeting place, as a space to learn about each other, space of cooperation and common testimony, without formal membership of the entities interested in Forum’s initiatives. The article about the idea of the Polish Christian Forum presents the following issues: changes in the world religious landscape; the beginnings of the Global Christian Forum; a new space for new challenges; basic objectives of the Christian Forum; formation of the Polish Christian Forum; conclusion.
