True Significance in the Academy: The Legacy of Christian Scholarship
Sponsored by the International Institute for Christian Studies (IICS) and Christian Studies International of Canada (CSI), this conference will explore what Christian academicians and professionals should pass on to future generations. IICS and CSI are international academic organizations which place Christian academicians and professionals in faculty positions at secular universities outside of North America and the U.K. IICS and CSI offer many teaching opportunities in all disciplines. Some questions to be addressed: "What are we as Christian academicians leaving for the next generation?" Or more importantly, "What should be our legacy as scholars who follow Christ?"
