"It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness."---Chinese Proverb adopted by the Christopher Society as their motto.

The Christopher Society was founded 55 years ago by a Jesuit priest who was concerned about the power of the media and its ability to promote violence and negativity. He and a group of friends started this society to honor people in the fields of literature, TV, and film who manage to do creative, quality work while promoting positive and uplifting messages.
