Opportunities for academics to serve overseas
Submitted by sjclarke, 15 Jan 2015, 5:59 pm
One of the key goals of the Cite conference is to encourage us to consider how we can serve God as academics all around the world, particularly in gospel poor countries. During Cite, we heard from two people who have taken the opportunity to do so. If you would like contact details for either of these people, please contact Sandy Clarke at the Simeon Network.
Using Uncover in the Simeon Network

Whatever resources we decide to draw on to reach the non-Christians around us, Uncover gives us a great opportunity to join with the rest of AFES this year in helping our friends to discover for themselves who Jesus is, by sitting down together and reading what the Bible says.

One of the regular complaints that we hear when a person with Christian views offers an opinion on a matter of public policy is that they are “imposing” their views on everyone else. Sometimes this is accompanied by a vague reference to the “separation of church and state”. If I am someone who holds a view about matters of public policy or law, which is derived from other convictions I hold about religion, is it legitimate for me to argue that this view ought to be accepted as a principle in Australian society at large? Or, since my view is “religious”, should I either not say anything at all about it, or indeed, go even further and set up a “compartment” in my opinions in which I don’t agitate for any law reform or policy issue that is based on that religious view? And is the answer...
