THE THEOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF STEWARDSHIP


The 1978 Annual Meeting of the American Scientific Affiliation, on "CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP OF NATURAL RESOURCES," promises to be a significant interaction of theology and technology. Theologian Clark Pinnock of McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, Ontario, well known for his concern to combine "orthopraxis" with orthodoxy, will give three biblical addresses on the meeting's theme. "Technologian" John Sheaffer will give a major address out of his nuts-and bolts experience and conviction that "God Was Right: Stewardship of the Earth Is Possible."

Then, besides contributed papers, field trips, and interest groups on the theme, two symposia will grapple with it in depth. One, arranged by forester Larry Walker, will lay out the dilemmas faced by real-life resource managers over conflicts between conservation and development for production. The other will examine the theme from the interdisciplinary perspectives of scholars in nearby Calvin College's Center for Christian Scholarship.

It's time for evangelical Christians able to understand technical questions to get our "doxy" and "praxis" together. We can't do everything, but most of us can do a lot more to show that we cherish God's creation. Let's see what we can do. HOPE COLLEGE, HOLLAND, MICHIGAN--AUGUST 11-14, 1978.

JOHN HALVER ELECTED NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

Is John E. Halver the first member of ASA to be elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences? We think he is, and we congratulate him on that recent recognition of his scientific stature. He was one of 60 Americans and 15 foreign scientists elected to NAS in April 1978. John is a professor in the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington in Seattle, and senior scientist in nutrition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service there. He received his M.S. at Washington State and his Ph.D. at the U. of Washington. John has been a member of ASA since 1965.

(We usually scan the' list of newly elected NAS members to see if anyone we know "made it" this year. Somehow we missed John's name in the list published in Science May 12, but sharp-eyed Kurt Weiss of the U. of Oklahoma College of Medicine spotted it, and passed the word along.)

ONE OF US EVEN MADE IT TO STOCKHOLM

It isn't often that our bimonthly (and usually tardy) Newsletter gets to scoop a weekly publication like Science, but of course we had an inside source for our story
on the Nobel Prize that barely got away from us (ASA/CSCA Newsletter, Dec 77/Jan 78, pp. 2-3). Meanwhile Roger C. Burgus has joined the ASA, bringing "one of us" even closer to the prize. Roger, who did the biochemical work on the thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in Roger Guillemin's laboratory at the Salk Institute, was invited by laureate Guillemin to attend the Nobel award ceremony in Stockholm last year.

In a thrilling three-part story in Science (21 April, 28 April, and 5 May 1978), writer Nicholas Wade describes the 21-year race to the Nobel Prize between Guillemin and his rival (and former coworker) Andrew Schally, both of whom were awarded the 1977 prize in physiology and medicine. The story points out that Burgus received his Ph.D. under Walter R. Hearn, who had been the first biochemist to work with Guillemin on the hypothalamic hormone problem, and quotes Hearn's joking remark that even he (Hearn) as a grad student learned how to say "Thank you very much" in Swedish--just in case. More significantly Wade quotes Schally as saying that on the structure of TRH, "Burgus did tremendous, beautiful work."

NEW TAPE-SLIDE SHOW IN THE WORKS

Paul T. Arveson, whose tape-slide show on astronomy was so impressive at the 1977 ASA Annual Meeting, asks for help on a new project. He is beginning to put together a similar show on "the new biology," to include a review of DNA and cell ultrastructure, explore some of the promises and problems of recombinant DNA research, and examine its current status in legislation. His motive is to inform church people about the issue in a relatively even-handed way.

Paul hopes to help ASA "proceed with our educational mission in the area of the biological sciences without stirring up the old hornet's nest of evolution." Can you help, by suggesting texts and supplying ideas and color slides that may be of use? 'Paul promises to copy and return all slides promptly. Ideally, he would like to have the descriptive elements of the show ready for the next Annual Meeting (at HOPE COLLEGE, HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 11-14, 1978).

Paul, a physicist by trade, is employed at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Bethesda, Maryland. Biologists and biochemists (others, too) can offer input to Paul at 9278 Adelphi Road, Adelphi, MD 20783.

TO RECEIVE (A LITTLE INK) IS ALSO BLESSED

We often feel blessed by the opportunity to "give some ink" to other organizations and causes, so we suspect others are blessed when they let people know about the work of ASA/CSCA. Everybody loves to receive "good ink," especially when it includes their correct address!

The June issue of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship's HIS magazine does students a service by describing Christian professional organizations in "Your Kind of People: A Marketplace of Christian Specialties"--with addresses. ASA is described as 11one of the strongest Christian societies for academic people .... Upper classmen and grad students in natural sciences, engineering, and philosophy of science will find the ASA a godsend. Social and behavioral science majors, along with Renaissance Man types, will find it worthwhile as well."

Richard Quebedaux's controversial book, The Worldly Evangelicals (Harper & Row, 1978. $6.95), describes us in a chapter on "Changing Cultural Attitudes." Quebedaux will probably irk almost everybody with his facile generalizations (see Donald Tinder's
review, "Are We Worldly?" in the May 19 Christianity Today), but his Journalistic overview seems to capture the whole spectrum of evangelical Christianity and to hint rather astutely at where it may be headed. Some will object to his broad categories of "left, right, and center" to describe people and movements. Yet who would deny that some evangelicals tend to be more open, others more rigid, in theology, lifestyle, politics, even vocabulary?

After saying that evangelicals are now active in all areas of scientific research and teaching, and citing the CMS and CAPS, Quebedaux says: "The most important association of left evangelical scientists is the ASA--the American Scientific Affiliation (Elgin, Illinois). It is countered on the right and center by the Creation Research Society (San Diego, California), formed in 1963, which accepts creation as a scientific fact and claims as mandatory Christian views a 'young earth' and a sudden origin of life." Then he describes ASA's purpose and activities accurately, including the fact that ASA "works closely with the Canadian Scientific and Christian Affiliation (Perth, Ontario), established only in 1973."

Quebedaux categorizes our statement of faith as an example of "the limited inerrancy position" he has defined earlier in the book. Although he says "the majority of its present members believe in some form of theistic evolution" and consider the earth very old, he makes it clear that ASA does not take a position on issues such as evolution which divide evangelicals at large.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AT THE FEDERATION

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology keeps experimenting with meeting patterns because of its size. This year the biochemists and immunologists split from the regular April meeting to have their meeting in June in Atlanta. But there were still plenty of medical scientists in Atlantic City, about 40 of whom turned up at the Howard Johnson Regency Hotel on Monday night, April 10, for the annual Federation Christian Fellowship.

Kurt Weiss, one of FCF's founders, reports that Bill Matthews of the SKF Laboratories made the arrangements and brought archaeologist David Livingstone of the Biblical Research Institute in Philadelphia to speak to the group on dating the biblical flood, stirring up considerable discussion. Besides the customary coffee and tea to lubricate their epiglottides, FCFers were treated to outstanding baked goodies provided by Elizabeth Zipf of the Biosciences Information Service of Biological Abtracts in Philadelphia. Paul Leiffer, now of Mission, Kansas, calling the FCF meeting a highlight of his trip to Atlantic City, mentioned good raps with Bob Herrmann and Harold Laughlin, among others.

Next year the Federation will meet in Dallas, Texas, over a 10-day period, with the biochemists and pharmacologists meeting the first 5 days, the four other societies meeting the last 5 days. Kurt says FCF hopes to hold its get-together on one of the overlapping days. His colleague Ken Dormer of the Dept. of Physiology & Biophysics at the U. of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center will make the FCF arrangements.

UPDATING C-14 DATING

In the Research News section of Science for May 12, two articles give more details on extending the range of radiocarbon dating (see ASA/CSCA Newsletter, Feb/Mar 1978, pp. 6-7). We were about half right in our guess that mass spectrometry lay behind the new techniques. One of the Science stories by Thomas H. Maugh II confirms that conventional high-resolution mass spectrometers were first tried--but without success, the weak C-14 signal being overwhelmed by that of N-14. The new gimmick is to use high-energy accelerators, such as the Lawrence Berkeley Lab's 88-inch cyclotron or the tandem Van de Graff accelerators at Rochester and McMaster Universities, as sophisticated mass spectrometers. At a thousand times higher energy than in a conventional mass spectrometer, C-14 ions travel farther than N-14 ions through several kinds of material, which can be used to filter out the interfering ions.

Even if the many problems mentioned in the article make it impossible to extend the C-14 range beyond that of beta-decay methods, accelerator dating can be used on much smaller samples. Further, other radioactive elements can be used, such as Be-10, with a half-life of 1.5 million years. The companion article in Science describes enrichment of C-14 from geological samples by thermal diffusion of methane and by tuned-laser decomposition of formaldehyde produced from such samples. At Oxford University laser enrichment is being combined with mass spectrometry in a tandem Van de Graff accelerator.

Meanwhile, recent ASA member Henry L. Richter urges caution on accepting any C-14 dates. Henry says he worked on the C-14 project 25 years ago at Cal Tech, but became a Christian 8 years ago and has since then radically changed his view of the age of the earth. He calls attention to Thomas G. Barne's monograph on Origin and Destiny of the Earth's Magnetic Field (Institute for Creation Research Technical Monograph #4), which has convinced him that the earth must be very young. Henry says that if the earth's magnetic field has been decreasing 5 percent every hundred years, then only a few thousand years ago the earth's magnetosphere would have been quite large, decreasing the conversion of atmospheric N-14 to C-14 by radiation. The result would be a-much different C-12/C-14 ratio a few thousand years ago than today, thus bollixing up C-14 dating.

Would anybody out there care to accelerate our updating with a paper to JASA, a comment to the Newsletter, or correspondence (Dr. Henry L. Richter, 178 West Longden Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91006)?

DIALOGUE ON CONTEXTUALIZATION

The first issue of a new quarterly journal, Gospel in Context, appeared in January 1978, published by Partnership in Mission, an independent U.S. agency that has catalyzed constructive interaction between western mission agencies and third world churches since the mid-1960s. Editor of the new journal is Charles R. Taber, who edited Practical Anthropology from 1968 to 1972. Charles is associate professor of world mission and anthropology, director of the Institute of World Studies and Church Growth at Milligan College, and lecturer at Emmanuel School of Religion, Tennessee. The Tabers also spent 1953-1960 as missionaries in the Central African Republic under the Brethren Church.

Gospel in Context is committed to "international, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, and interdenominational dialogue, focused on the contextualization of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the six continents." The first issue is full of stimulating dialogue in the form of a challenging paper, "Is There More Than One Way to Do Theology?" by Taber, plus responses from all over the world to that paper and to anthropological/ theological interaction in general.

Subscription rates for the lively new journal are $11 per year in North America, Western Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia; $8 per year in all other countries. Make check or money order payable to Gospel in Context, 1564 Edge Hill Road, Abington, PA 19001 USA. 

ABORTION INFORMATION: "PRO-LIFE" AND "PRO-CHOICE"

Kenneth J. Van Dellen of the Division of Mathematics and Science (Geology) of Macomb County Community College, Warren, Michigan, says that he recently joined "Scientists for Life," an organization of professional scientists whose purpose is "to promote respect for human life at all stages of biological development, from fertilization till death, and to educate the public on the consequences of interfering with such life." Ken had a copy of the SFL Newsletter sent to us. From its content, SFL seems to be primarily concerned to support the "pro-life" or anti-abortion position. Full members must have a bachelor's degree in science but undergraduate science majors may become student members. Application fee is $3. For more information, write: Scientists for Life, 1908 Washington Avenue, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.

Those who support the option of legal abortion now tend to call their position the 11pro-choice" position. We've recently seen a copy of Options, newsletter of "The Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights," comprising 26 national religious organizations. From it we learned of increasing harassment of abortion clinics, including fire-bombing and death threats to clinic personnel and their children. An "Appeal for Non-Violence" in the abortion debate was issued in March by a number of religious leaders. None of the 270 Catholic bishops in the U.S. agreed to sign it, but the Bishop of Cleveland issued his own statement advocating peaceful discussion after the February burning of a clinic there.

GUELPH
Officers were elected at an executive meeting on April 5. They are: president, Ernie Davison; vice-president, Derrick Read; secretary, Steve Scadding; treasurer, Gerry Hofstra; asst. secretary, Rick Wukasch; asst. treasurer, Esther Martin; executive without portfolio, Danny Butler (all of the U. of Guelp-h faculty).

INDIANA Officers for the coming year are: president, Waldo Roth (Taylor U.); president elect and program chair, George Welker (Ball State U.); secretary, George Harrison (Taylor); treasurer,.John Vayhinger (Anderson School of Theology); member-at-large, Mark Cosgrove (Taylor).

A report from George Harrison summarizes the past year's activities, which somehow didn't make it into the national Newsletter. The fall meeting was held at Anderson College on 27 October 1977 in conjunction with the 10th NIMH workshop in Mental Health for Clergy, sponsored by the Anderson School of Theology. Theme of that program was "Come Grow Old With Me: The Best is Yet to Come." Bill Sisterson spoke briefly on ASA concerns at the meeting, which was addressed by John Vayhinger on "The Christian, as Scientist, Considers the Aging Process" and by Dr. Lowell Colston of Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis, on psychological problems associated with aging.

The spring meeting was held at Marion College on 19 April 1978, featuring Hugh Paine, professor emeritus at Houghton
College, New York, and formerly of Argonne National Laboratory. In the afternoon Hugh spoke on "Getting the Most out of the Genesis Creation Account" and in the evening
on "The Gospel in the Stars."

SAN FRANCISCO BAY Sure enough, the stirrings reported last time have produced a local section newsletter called The Upstart, first issue of which contained a ballot for new council members and announcement of not one but two May meetings, both with outstanding visiting speakers.

On May 17 a meeting at John Amoore's home in El Cerrito in the NE corner of the section drew perhaps 25 people (including a carful from the SW corner). Those present heard a superb lecture by John Barrow, theoretical astrophysicist from Christchurch College, Oxford University, who has been at U.C. Berkeley on a Lindemann Traveling Fellowship from the Union of the
Commonwealth. John's lecture on "What is the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe--and Why?" refuted the idea that there is nothing special about our human existence. Showing that even a slight increase or decrease in any of the four fundamental constants of the universe would have made galaxies, stars, heavy elements, the earth, and human life impossible, John said "it looks very much as though the universe was created with human beings in mind." John's lecture, though essentially a scientific talk, seemed more effective in inclining the audience to praise God than many a sermon.

Members present were eager to question John about modern cosmology, which seems to be undergoing a rapid change in outlook on fundamental issues. As evidence, consider Robert Jastrow's public AAAS lecture on "God and the Astronomers" (see ASA/CSCA Newsletter, Apr/May 1978, pp.2-3); the New York Times front page story, "Scientists Expect New Clues to Origin of Universe" (12 March 1978); and the article by Margaret J. Geller of Harvard's Center for Astrophysics on "The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe," American Scientist 66, 176-184 (March-April 1978). It was exciting to have a "down-to-earth" cosmologist like John Barrow at hand to discuss recent work and what theological conclusions should or should not be drawn from it. Barrow is ~currently co-authoring a paper for Scientific American and a book for Oxford University Press along the lines of his talk. All hands strongly urged him to do a paper for JASA on the subject also.

On May 27 the locus and focus both shifted, the locus to Stanford University in the SW corner and the focus to information theory. Approximately the same number attended, including a few folk from Berkeley and beyond. Jean-Pierre Adoul, CSCA member on sabbatical at Stanford from the U. of Sherbrooke in Quebec, gave a fascinating look at God's "problems" in communicating with us in a lecture entitled "How on Earth Did God Speak to Man?" Jean-Pierre first gave some background on information theory, going back to C. Shannon's famous 1948 theorems. Then he discussed what God's "fidelity matrix" must look like and considered the degree of "distortion" introducible if God's "personality" were revealed as that of a graven image, a king, man, "I Am," or Jesus Christ. Jean-Pierre warned the audience that sloppy use of their terminology in other fields often drives information scientists up their ordinates, but nevertheless he gave us a new framework for considering God's intentions (and self-limitations) in "getting through" to us in revelation.

Discussion following Jean-Pierre's own communication centered on the reasons behind God's particular strategies and the reciprocal nature of communication (i.e., through prayer). Informal conversation continued as most members stayed for lunch together in Tresidder Union patio. The newly elected executive council should have itself organized by the next report.

MINUTES OF THE ASA EXECTUIVE COUNCIL MEETING, 3 March 1978 at Wheaton College

(Note: What appears in the Newsletter" is not the official minutes, respectfully submitted, duly corrected, and all that--but the editor's summary.) 

Called to order at 1:35 p.m. by president Buswell. Present: Buswell, Carpenter, Claassen, Herrmann, Weiss, Sisterson. Opening!: Reading from 2 Corinthians 2'and 3 by Buswell and remarks that "Christ provides the adequacy, in all that we do," followed by' a season of1pra'yer with all participating in thanksgiving and requests for God's guidance. Items of Business 

1. Approval of minutes. Minutes of the 18 November 1977 Council meeting in Wheaton were approved without correction. 

2. President's remarks. Buswell welcomed Robert Herrmann of Oral Roberts University to the Execuctive Council (replacing, Jack Haas) and thanked Howard Claassen for his work as recording secretary the past year. 

3. Nomination: of fellows. The names of'7:members~(Jack Balswick; Lawrence Crabb, Jr. Edward P. Coleson,~Roger D. Griffioen,, Eugene Jekel; H. Newton Maloney; Clarence Menninga) were added to the list of 15 nominees approved at the Nov. 18 meeting (Vernon Ehlers; John E. Frederickson; Truman V. H6rshberger; Ann Hunt; Gareth Jones;- James, H. Kraakevik; Norman D.) Lea; Robert C. Lehman. Kenneth Lindley; Kenneth V. Olson. Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen; Donald R. Wilson; Dan Wonderly; Davis A. Young; Ron Burwell). The slate of 22nominees will be voted on by the Fellows.

Sisterson was instructed to provide a list of current Fellows to each Council member, and to., investigate a suitable plaque-or other memento to be awarded to each person elected, as,a Fellow. Claassen was appointed to chair a 3-person committee to nominate two Fellows for election to-the' Council, b y July iO, 1978. 4.-Emeritus-status.- Enoch Hattson, Affiliaton member since the 1940s, now retired and, 1iving in Br1stish Columbia, was granted Emeritus status on his request., 5. E 4ecptive Secretary's report.

5. Sisterson's progress through February on goals setup for the year was reported as follows:

Report on new members looks especially good. Sisterson. now hopes to recruit 10 Life Members in 1978,,the $500 dues to be deposited in a special account from which funds can be borrowed for special, projects. Student recruitment is also picking up, with awards, of, memberships or 1-year subscriptions, being made to many students. Science faculties at some Christian Colleges now award,such a scholarship to each graduating science major.,

As of March 1, 1978, ASA has 580 Associates, 1,946 Members, and 170 Fellows, for a total membership of 2,696. There are 769 subscribers. Grand total: 3,465. An advertisement in the classified section-of, Christianity Today will appear in the March 20 issue to make contacts for ASA-with interested scientists,

Sisterson also reported on a comparative salary review for office employees in comparable organizations.

6. 1978 Annual Meeting at Hope College. Call for papers has been mailed and program planning is being aggressively pursued. Final program will be mailed to registrants and to all ASA members and will include information on transportation from both O'Hare (Chicago) and Grand Rapids airports to Holland, Michigan.

Discussion covered the following points: Presentation of a paper does not mean automatic submission or acceptance for publication by JASA. Symposium on "resources management" should be of interest to many members in forestry, fisheries, etc. Field trips will include a visit to Jack Sheaffer's project in Muskegon County where waste land has been converted into corn-growing land. Arrangements for certain ASA speakers to participate in Sunday services in nearby 'churches will be sought. Sisterson will report on facilities and programs for children. The question of bringing the Christian psychiatry group at Michigan State's Grand Rapids branch into one of the discussion groups was raised. It was agreed that Council members should be made visible to members at Annual Meetings to encourage grass-roots communication. Council members could serve as chairs for some sessions. Chairs should be designated in advance and their names printed in the program. Papers must begin and end on time, especially in parallel sessions.

7. 1979 Annual Meeting at Stanford University. Sisterson is to discuss with Richard Bube of Stanford the appointment of program and local arrangements chairs. Some participants at the 1977 meeting suggested psychology as an appropriate theme. Sisterson is to discuss possible themes/speakers with Bube and Walter Hearn.

8. 1980 Annual Meeting (midwest). Herrmann extended invitation on behalf of Oral Robert U., in TULSA, Oklahoma (suggested dates Aug. 8-11, 1980). The university can provide up to 200 air-conditioned rooms plus food facilities on the grounds, and there are many motels and restaurants in the vicinity. Council voted to accept the invitation. Herrmann is to secure official letter of invitation. Philosopher Arthur F. Holmes is planning a conference on Christian perspectives in sociology and has requested that that conference meet jointly with ASA in the midwest in 1979. Council proposed joint meeting at Oral Roberts in 1980, or if that cannot be arranged, at Stanford in 1979. Council recessed two hours for dinner and reconvened for an evening session. 9. Resignation. Sisterson discussed letter from Duane T. Gish resigning from ASA as a member and Fellow. "Accepted by Council with regret, since individual members felt that neither antiquity of the earth nor conventional geology have any bearing on the validity of our Christian faith."

10. ASA stand on inerrancy of the Bible. "Council is continually concerned about its stereotype and the misrepresentation of its image which is presented to the Christian public." Lengthy discussion led to the conclusion that "the ranges of positions represented by the ASA membership belies the charges of liberalism which have at times been hurled at us." Buswell offered to present a paper or participate in a dialog regarding ASA viewpoints on inerrancy, creation, etc., or to write an article for Moody Monthly or Christianity Today on the ASA.

11. Evaluation of the Journal. Council expressed its appreciation for editor Bube's "labor of love and a job extremely well done." There is agreement that Journal ASA has risen in stature, although "not all articles are equally easy to understand by the reader at large."

Buswell has received a letter from Henry Morris in which ASA beliefs, practices, and Journal content are criticized. In reply, Buswell has written: "As for the 'ridiculing those ... who believe in a young earth and flood geology' which you claim has
been coming from the ASA, Wheaton College, and neo-evangelicals in general 'for at least three decades,' I plan to take every precaution against any further such expressions appearing in ASA pubications. We shall make every effort to continue the lopen forum' style of expression, including different sides of questions debated by Christians, without the sarcasm and ridicule against other creationists of which we have been accused (but which characterizes the preponderance of other creationist literature concerning the evolutionist)."

12. Evaluation of the Newsletter. Council expressed "deep appreciation" for editor Hearn's work on the Newsletter. Sisterson was authorized to discuss with Hearn certain changes in format for the Newsletter, perhaps the inclusion of some Journal-like but less technical articles on topics of science and Christian faith. Suggestions to be presented at next Council meeting.

13. Report by Carpenter on mention of ASA in other publications. George W. Cornell, religion writer for Associated Press, wrote a 5-part series, "The Enigma of Human Origins," which received wide circulation in newspapers in the U.S. Cornell included mention of ASA and interviewed Carpenter as vice-president of ASA.

13.a. Mailing list req est. William F. Dankenbring has asked to purchase the ASA mailing list to advertise his book, The First Genes (Triumph Publishing Co., Altadena, CA). Council reaffirmed its standing policy against selling our mailing list and referred the matter to Sisterson.

Council adjourned at 9 p.m. and reconvened on Saturday, March 4, at 9:15 a.m. Buswell read fron; T Corinthians 3:10-12, followed by prayers for the founders of ASA and for wisdom in enlarging upon their vision.

14. Booket of JASA reprint articles. First booklet, on the topic of Creation, is in preparation for May publication, with David Willis selecting the articles and writing introductory statements. Sisterson was instructed to print as many as the reserve fund can afford in order to reduce cost per unit, and to contact Probe Ministries to see if they are interested in distributing our booklets along with theirs.

15. West coast representative. Sisterson's suggestion of hiring a part-time individual to visit West coast groups and stimulate activities was discussed. Some Council members thought an East coast representative might be more significant. Sisterson was instructed to consult with others on the matter, particularly on his trip west, and report to Council at its August meeting.

16. Relocation of Elgin office. On hearing Sisterson's description of cramped condition of present office, Council encouraged him to find a larger place before our lease expires on August 31, with authority to buy out our present lease if necessary. Buswell and Claassen were appointed to serve as a committee to assist Sisterson in evaluating prospective locations and in making suitable arrangements.

16 Offset press. Weiss inquired about the usefulness of our I-year old offset press. Discussion led to encouragement of Sisterson to hire a part-time printer to run the press or inquire about selling the press.

17. Book reports by Carpenter. Carpenter reported on Nature and Miracle by Johann Diener (Wedge) and Horizons in Science edited by Carl Henry (Harper & Row). Council decided to carry the two paperbacks in our book service.

18. Report on AAAS meetings in Washington, D.C. Sisterson and Claassen attended the AAAS meetings in February to make new acquaintances for ASA and assess procedures to use at future scientific meetings. (See Newsletter, Feb/Mar 1978, p.12; Apr/May 1978, pp 2-3--Ed.)
Sisterson was instructed to write up his experience in Washington and make advance contact with members planning to attend the 1979 AAAS meeting in Houston so a consensus can be reached concerning the best procedures for Houston.

19. Reserve fund and life memberships. Reserve fund is presently $2,100. There are presently five Life Members. Sisterson hopes this category will increase steadily.

20. Procedure for handling next financial crisis. Sisterson reported that the year-end appeal in 1977 was successful and believes that such an appeal should be made in 1978. However, we may fall behind again in the next few months. Council discussed the possibility of foundation grants for specific projects. Claassen expressed his conviction that "if the membership will not support the ASA, it ought to go out of existence, but, before going out of existence, the members should be apprised of that possibility and be given an opportunity to contribute."

Council voted to make an immediate appeal for Sustaining Memberships at $100 and send out a general appeal for contributions around Thanksgiving.

21. Future activities of the Executive Secretary. Sisterson will leave March 8 on a trip to the West coast to visit local ASA groups and individual members, stopping at Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, and other intermediate points, returning March 28.
Buswell will keep in biweekly contact with Sisterson.

22. Next Council meeting. Council will meet at Hope College immediately after conclusion of the Annual Meeting, probably getting underway on Monday afternoon, August 14, continuing into August 15.

Meeting adjourned at 12:05 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,


A. Kurt Weiss, Secretary-treasurer, ASA



Rodger K. Bufford, associate professor at the Psychological Studies Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, participated in a symposium on "Christian Graduate Programs in Psychology" at the CAPS convention in Chicago in April.

Alton, one of the founders and the first president of ASA, was also first editor of the Newsletter. He continues to serve Christian recording and broadcast studios overseas as a long-distance audio engineering consultant. Alton's as willing as ever to consult on other matters, too: after trying to locate an ASA member whose ZIP code he didn't know, Alton suggests that the next directory would perhaps be more useful if organized alphabetically--or by number of wisdom teeth.

Melvin W. Hanna is in charge of the general chemistry program at the U. of Colorado in Boulder. He has contact with about 900 new freshmen each year and many good conversations about serious things with the few he gets to know personally.

He also wonders if anything ever came of attempts to stir up a technical-book recycling program, and if some Christian institution overseas could make use of his 50-odd surplus c5emistry textbooks. (Mel's address: 720 Lincoln Place, Boulder, CO 80302.)
