Faith and Learning Seminar held at Loma Linda in June
The 20th Faith and Learning Seminar of the Institute for Christian Teaching was held June 15 to 27 in Loma Linda.
Almost 400 Adventist educators have participated in 19 seminars held in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, England, France, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States over the past years.
Representatives this time came from colleges and universities in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Philippines, Romania, Spain, Trinidad, the United States, and Zimbabwe.
Through this seminar, the Institute sought to achieve the following objectives:
*Provide participants an opportunity and a context for focused study, reflection, and discussion of the essentials of Adventist educational philosophy as it relates to teaching learning, administration, research, and ministry in the health sciences.
*Familiarize participants with the basic concepts of the integration of faith, learning, and profession, and their application in Adventist educational settings.
*Assist participants in the development of an essay that will bring to bear, on his or her area of activity, the essentials of Adventist educational philosophy and the concepts of faith-learning-ministry integration in health-related fields. These essays were read at the end of the seminar and later will be printed in a volume of the Christ in the Classroom collection, which will be distributed around the world.
*Empower participants to become initiators or supporters of the process of integrating faith, teaching, learning, and profession in an educational context.
The Institute for Christian Teaching was established in 1987 as a service of the General Conference Education Department. The Institute offers interdisciplinary seminars for educational administrators, teachers, researchers, and leaders. It develops resources to foster the integration of faith and teaching/learning in Adventist schools at all levels.
The Christ in the Classroom collection is distributed to the libraries of the Adventist colleges and universities worldwide.
Seminars for 1998 are scheduled for Austria, Bolivia, and Kenya.
Representatives from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, the Philippines, Romania, Spain, Trinidad, the United States, and Zimbabwe attended the 20th Faith and Learning Seminar of the Institute for Christian Teaching held at Loma Linda University.
