Frank Kaufmann

Dr. Frank Kaufmann has worked in over 95 countries in the arena of religion and peace, involving him in negotiations and mediation efforts in wars, major areas of conflict, and in occasions of violent uprisings. This work is conducted currently under the auspices of Twelve Gates Foundation. 

As a doctoral graduate from Vanderbilt University in the history of Christian Thought and New Testament, Dr. Kaufmann has led a number of international, academic organizations, and continues to serve as the founding editor in chief of New World Encyclopedia maintained by Values in Knowledge Foundation, founded by him in 2009. New World Encyclopedia is an online, general knowledge encyclopedia built to be a reliable knowledge source and alternative to Wikipedia, which suffers from reliability issues and debilitating ideological bias.

In 2020 Dr. Kaufmann founded The Settlement Project, an American renewal movement committed to freedom as an inalienable right, equality under the law, and life lived actively toward a more perfect union and domestic tranquility. 

In addition to leadership and administrative responsibilities, Dr. Kaufmann is a widely published writer and speaker.
