Faculty Forum
To meet its objectives, the Faculty Forum has successfully:
Facilitated faculty-led strategic planning retreats aimed at the development of constructive initiatives addressing the current intellectual climate within higher education.
Sponsored local, regional, national, and international conferences and other events to network Christian faculty and trustees with the aim of encouraging a renaissance of Christian thought and expression within the mainstream of contemporary higher education.
Acquired and fully restored "The Kilns," the home of C.S. Lewis in Oxford, England, for the purpose of establishing it as an international residential study center for visiting Christian faculty, scholars, and artists.
Projected initiatives include:
Expansion of the Faculty Forum beyond the borders of the United States and Canada to include the international scholarly community.
Formation of an independent task force, representing a wide range of religious and non-religious constituencies, to define the place of religiously informed thought and scholarship within the curricular life of the academy. Through the drafting of a formal "Educational Policy Statement on Faith and Academic Freedom," it is hoped that such a document will provide useful guidance to all secular institutions, professional associations, and accrediting agencies seeking to find common ground on this often divisive issue.
Continued provision of world-class conferences, seminars, workshops, and related resource materials designed to better assist university faculty and other professionals in their personal efforts to translate faith into practice through a more integrated understanding of the role of faith within the compass of their professional lives.
