TO EDITOR NAUGHT TO
EDIT?
...
That is a question. The ant,
Sir? Yes, the biblical ant could teach the Newsletter
editor a thing or two ("you lazy fellow," Prov. 6:6-11 LB). But it
wasn't procrustean proclivity to procrastinate that procreated this latest lateness. It
was more like a
miscalculation.
Who'd have thought that after leaving Aug. 12 for the ASA Annual
Meeting, the
Weary Old Editor (WOE is me) wouldn't be back in Berkeley by
now--September 24?
Fortunately we're near enough to Elgin to deliver this makeshift copy
to the Elves by
hand. Where is the real copy, everything you wanted to know about
ASA/CSCA members,
the ideal job listing, red hot news of your section's latest clambake,
the next episode in your favorite HOW TO series? In Berkeley, of
course, in a pile probably
flowing out of that big box marked Incoming Mail.
Would that editor and all that mail were together, especially since the
Aug/Sept
issue failed to appear way back in August. (The fact is that the Hearns
are in
Wheaton doing editorial work for Tyndale House, waiting for Ginny to
enter a Milwaukee
hospital for gynecological surgery. Prayers, please.) Meanwhile, here's
the best we
can do from notes we're still lugging around in our briefcase one month
after one of
the best ASA Annual Meetings ever.
NYACK BY KAYAK
You could have come that way, since Nyack College looks out from its
wooded hillside
campus over the mighty Hudson River. Or even by yak back, across the
Tappan Zee
Bridge from Tarrytown or Briarcliff Manor.
Actually most of us came by turnpike or dropped from the blue (by
skyjack?), generally at the wrong airport. New Jersey's Newark was much
more convenient to Nyack,
New York, than either Kennedy or LaGuardia airports, especially during
rush-hour
traffic. But Mike Sonnenberg of Nyack College, local arrangements
chairman, had
commandeered enough cars and chauffeurs from the New York Metropolitan
local section
to bring all the lost sheep into the fold.
Final count of registrants at the 1977 ASA Annual Meeting was 188, give
or take a
few who may still be wandering around J. F. Kennedy airport, or whose
kayak may have
sprung a leak.
HIGH ON PIKESPEM
With so many bad puns already we won't call "Pike speaking" a
mountain-top experience.
But Kenneth Pike, director of Wycliffe Bible Translators' Summer
Institute of Linguistics for many years and retiring professor of
linguistics at the U. of Michigan, is
so
full of fresh ideas and has such a way with words that all who
heard his three
major addresses at Nyack felt stimulated and "elevated."
Throughout, professor Pike built analogies on the linguistic
distinction between
phonetics and "phonemics." In phonetics a linguist learns to analyze
speech patterns and classify sounds according to a scheme of universally applicable
rules, a typical
scientific procedure. But in practice Pike realized that unbridled
phonetic analysis
Sometimes led Wycliffe linguists "in the field" to come up with huge
alphabets to
record the speech of a previously unwritten language. So he invented
"phonemics" as
a way of cutting through masses of irrelevant detail to get at the
meaning or message
that transcend the technical phonetic apparatus. Phonemics thus deals
with similarities in sounds--that is, with analysis of the way a
variety of sounds is taken by a
hearer to mean essentially the same thing.
Once you've thought of the "phoemic" distinction, many applications
relevant to
Christian faith come to mind (if you're Ken Pike). His Friday evening
opening lecture., on "Conscience and Culture" dealt with distinctive levels of moral law,
contrasting
the Mosaic law (the Ten Commandments), the "law" in human hearts
(conscience), and
the universal "law of God" (the standard he has for all people in all
parts of the
world in all ages). Combining broad experience among different cultures
with deep
respect for God's Word, Pike argued for an "phoemic" universality of
moral law (not
corresponding exactly to the Mosaic law but also not relative to
culture) as well as
on
11-remic" culturally conditioned flexibility in the outworking of
God's universal
law.
Is there anthropological evidence from human conscience for a universal
moral law?
Granted that its universality has been distorted as a result of human
sin, has God's
law been lost through cultural "noise" or can the universal theme yet
be detected
beneath the multitude of variations?
What angers people in different cultures? "Anger calibrates conscience"
according to
Pike. Taking a cue from Christ's words in Matthew 7:1-2, he argued that
what a person
gets mad- at in any culture can give the lie to a claim that "I didn't
know it was
wrong" about one's own immoral or unjust behavior. Pike fascinated his
audience with
dozens of illustrations from his cross-cultural experiences (among
people ranging from
headhunters to New Yorkers). But he also called on Affiliation
anthropologists as
well as Wycliffe translators to document scientifically the basis for
anger in as many cultures as possible.
He gave credit to his wife and coworker, Evelyn Pike, for suggesting
that how people
give comfort to those in sadness should also be studied scientifically.
The polemics of comfort might reveal an underlying positive aspect of
moral law just as anger
should reveal the negative aspect. Another area worthy of further study
is the polemics" of persuasion, how people in a variety of cultures convince
others of what
to do, or of what is true. Pike pointed to the variety of styles of
persuasion in
the Bible, as in the different chapters of the Gospel of John, for
example.
To
his second lecture on "Incarnation in a Culture," Pike continued to
illustrate that
God's universals are always worked out in a specific cultural context.
"Local conscience leaves local people responsible to the universal
moral law." Jesus was God incarnate in a specific culture, speaking a specific, low-prestige
dialect. Pike
sees the "good neighbor" and the "anti-neighbor" as probable
universals, and suspects
that a "hidden wistfulness for goodness" can be found even where it is
commonly overridden by lust for power. The conflicting cultural ideals
of goodness and power are
both fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
Membership report (ASA and CSCA combined): 160 Fellows; 1,900
Members; 600
Associates. Total, 2,660 (plus about 800 nonmember subscribers to
JASA).
Guelph, Ontario, is now officially recognized as a local section,
Canada's second.
Future "possibles" are Seattle (Washington), Vancouver (B.C.), and
Denver (Colorado)
areas. It takes a minimum of about 25 members in a reasonably compact
area to sustain a local section, judging from past experience. The
Elgin office gladly offers
help in recruiting that 25, then in organizing a section.
The annual banquet was a full-scale production: a lavish
smorgasbord; potpourri of
vocal entertainment; Jack Haas's not-so-formal presidential remarks
(assisted by
his cartoon friend, "B.C."); Ken Pike's concluding address. Almost
too much for
one evening, calorie-wise and otherwise. Sleepy robins had three
shrikes against
lem,and were getting bittern by the finch of the program, but
it was a lark for the
owls (and ornithologist Frank Cassel missed it!).
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
HOPE COLLEGE in Holland, Michigan is the site of next year's ASA
ANNUAL MEETING,
with the Western Michigan local section as hosts. Mark AUGUST 11-14,
1978, on your
calendars now. Besides the usual (and unusual) contributed papers on
whatever
subjects Affiliation members have on our minds, serious attention will
be given to
the meeting's serious theme: "Christian Stewardship of Natural
Resources."
Symposia, discussion groups, book table, even field trips will fit
in with the theme.
So will the major addresses by our featured speaker, Dr. Clark Pinnock.
professor
of systematic theology at McMaster University Divinity College in
Hamilton, Ontario.
Beyond Hope? The discernible pattern is east (New York 1977) to
central (Michigan
1978) to west. The San Francisco Bay Area section will host the 1979
ASA Annual
Meeting on the campus of Stanford University (the Lord willing and the
California
drought breaking).
AND NOW, BACK TO OUR REGULAR FEATURES
Barring complications (surgical and otherwise), the editor should
soon be back on
the job. In fact, the Oct/Nov issue might even be in press before
you're through
reading this one. Then we'll be back on our regular publication
schedule and back
to our regular features: PERSONALS, for instance (keep those "pink
postcards"
coming, folks); PEOPLE and POSITIONS, looking for each other; and our
various
HOW TO series.
We were tempted to pad this issue with little-known facts of
science (pulled out of
the air like those in your typical competitor's research progress
report). But
the thought of those upright little ants toiling honestly away in
Proverbs 6 kept
us from it. We never got beyond inventing a few headlines, slight
variations
on our usual themes:
HOW TO CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING (to "bara" a Hebrew phrase)
HOW TO FALL INTO A COMPOST PILE AND COME UP SMELLING LIKE A ZUCCHINI
HOW TO SERVE MANKIND (A series of recipes sent in by
any of our members who happen
to be cannibals
Carpenter suggested that financial information be included twice a year.
Claessen suggested that an occasional humorous cartoons be included, such as those shown by Haas at the banquet.The council affirms the policy of publishing six issues per year.
After some discussion
about the desirably of involving more members in
thinking about the needs of the ASA, Lhe following resolution was
moved, seconded,
and passed unanimously:
Resolved that we begin the practice of publishing a report of
council
meetings in the Newsletter, and that we terminate the practice of
mailing copies
of the minutes of council meetings separately to fellows.
4. The Journal,
Council members expressed a firm consensus of appreciation of the high quality of the JASA, To overcome a
complaint often heard from authors, efforts are underway to speed up publication of papers, and to keep
authors informed about the status of their submitted manuscripts.
The council affirms the policy that Editor Bube has followed of
accepting only papers
that relate science and theology, and rejecting papers on only science
and papers on
only theology.
5. Travel Costs for Sisterson. The Pinto owned by ASA, and
used by Sisterson,
costs about 7 cents/mile in out-of-pocket expenses, and depreciation
costs are 6 to
7 cents/mile. This seems satisfactory to the council.
6. Part-time help in the Elgin Office. The office is now
caught up on all its backlog of work. This has been made possible through the diligence of
Miss Parker,
and by the help of Mrs. Sisterson, Bill's mother. Mrs. Sisterson has
recently retired and moved to Elgin, and has spent many days working in
the ASA office without
pay. The council appreciates this contribution, and was unanimous in a
hearty vote
of thanks.
7. Retirement Plan for Sisterson and Parker. After the
discussion in the previous
council meeting, Sisterson made further comparisons between the Fixed
Annuity now being utilized and the newly-available Individual Retirement
Account plan. Upon
recommendation by Sisterson, speaking also for Parker, the following
resolution
was moved, seconded and passed by the council:
Resolved that we terminate our Retirement Plan with Minister's Life for
both of our employees, and that we increase the salaries by the amount that we are now
paying for retirement. This is done with the understanding that both
employees will set up IRA accounts and contribute
approximately 10% or more of their salaries, the change is to be
effective Jan. 1. 1978.
8. Popular Newsletter. No action, but keep the idea on
the back burner.
9. Tape-slide presentations. The people who watched the
tape-slide presentation on modern astronomy prepared by Paul Arveson
and shown at Nyack were highly
complimentary. Sisterson is asked to write to Arveson and try to
arrange for the
council to view it at the November meeting. Hopefully, the one being prepared. by
Chignell and Craven, Chicago Section, will also be shown then.
10. Fall Council Meeting. This will be Friday and
Saturday, November 18 and
19. Sisterson will arrange the starting time.
A 90-minute break was taken at this time for dinner.
11, Relations with CSCA. After some discussion about the
need for closer
relatioship with our sister organization in Canada, CSCA, Sisterson was
asked to
write to Dan Osmond to invite the CSCA to send a representative to our
council
meetings.
12, It was decided to co it ourselves, through the Elgin office, to
sell
fifty copies of a book that is being printed based on the Wheaton, 1975
Conference
on Human Engineering.
13. Membership Dues. After discussion, the following
schedule of fees was
approved; Previous Fee Future Fee
Category (through
1977) (effective 1978)
Fellow's dues $25.00 $26.00
Member's dues 18.00 19.00
Assoc. Member's dues 13.00 14.00
Student Member's dues 5.00 5.00
(10.00 individual
Subscription 9.00 (15.00 library
14, Constructive criticisms. A letter written by Dr. Ian
Kling to the council
raised several points of constructive criticisms. These were discussed,
and the
council noted that such criticisms are valuable and appreciated.
15. ASA-produced Radio programs on science and theology. The idea
is good, but
is placed on the back burner for now.
16. JASA Reprints. Haas has sent a questionnaire to eight
Christian colleges to
determine an approximate market for sets of reprints. He should have
responses to
report at the November meeting. A print shop in Boston would print
80-page off-sets
for under $2.00 each in orders of 1000.
17. Fund Raising. Foundation possibilities were discussed
briefly. A large
effort to attract foundation money does not seem feasible at this time.
Sisterson
volunteered to try personal contacts with individuals as one method of
fund raising.
The goal will be to raise $10,000 in capital funds as seed
money for the tape-slide
project, the reprint project, etc. Council members should also solicit
gifts and
life memberships. These capital funds would have to be replaced by the
end of
year for use in future projects.
18. The 1978 Annual Meeting at Hope College. The broad
subject to be emphasized
is Scarcity. The featured speaker is Clark Pinnock. Sisterson
will work with Bill
Zuspan on arranging an engineer's symposium.
Claassen will ask Dr. Jack Sheaffer to arrange a symposium on plans
for a cooperative
community using maximum recycling and energy self-sufficiency.
Suggestions coming from the Nyack meeting for better future
meetings:
We need a program coordinator who knows local restaurants.
Chairmen of sessions and devotion leaders should be listed on the program.
The special interest discussion groups should be publicized in advance, although last-minute additions are probably inevitable.
We need a break between breakfast and the first meeting.
Job openings and job applicants might advertise and get together at annual meetings.
The Council adjourned at 9:10 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Howard H. Claassen, Secretary
Notes from the National Office
There can hardly be a subject more pertinent to the purposes of our
affiliation than
that of the stewardship of natural resources. It arises out of clear
Biblical teaching about man's duty to the world about him and a
pressing current need that everyone
in the world will be increasingly faced with. It is an issue that
requires the
efforts of every scientific discipline if a viable solution is to be
found and the
theoretical and ethical input of Biblical Christianity. With these
requirements
what group should be more involved than the ASA?
I personally feel a strong commitment to the editorial on this
subject ("A Christian
Affirmation on the Stewardship of Natural Resources") by Dick Bube in
the most recent
issue of the JASA. While this shouldn't be the only issue that we
concern ourselves
with, it seems to me it should be a central concern of ours. Let me
know how you
feel about this since it is important to have member input into the
future priorities
of the ASA,
As a visible sign of our concern for the use of natural resources,
the 1978 Annual
Meeting will be built around the theme of a "Christian Stewardship of
Natural Resources.11 A top priority in this meeting is to ground
ourselves-firmly on God's
Word and our first action has been to invite a Biblical theologian,
Clark Pinnock,
to speak to us at length on our Christian basis for stewardship of
resources.
More than than, of course, we want significant scientific
input to the subject and
will solicit your help on this as well as other specialists in the field not necessarily in
the ASA, We invite you to consider
what input you might have including
the presentation of a paper from your own specialty perspective. I feel that virtually any ASA member can
contribute to this theme
because of the way it touches every person.
Beyond the meeting itself we need to consider what actions we
should take both as
individuals and collectively as an affiliation. I pray that God will
give the ASA
a specific project related to this theme that will genuinely reflect
the concerns
and gifts of our members. Such a project might be presented at the 1978
Annual
Meeting and used as a focus of our concern in the years to come. Pray
with me,
won't you, that God will show us how we can specifically respond as a
group of concerned Christians in the sciences. If you have suggestions
please write to me so
we can begin now to sort out God's plan for us in this area of pressing
need.
Sincerely in Christ,
William D. Sisterson
Executive Secretary
