Association of Christians Teaching Sociology Homepage
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The purposes of ACTS are somewhat difficult to define, but the following, quoted from comments made by participants, suggests the concerns of those who attend.
- A place to engage in personal and professional development through concentrated discussion on the integration of the sociological vocation with the Christian calling
- The group began in 1976, when Dr. Russell Heddendorf, then Chair of the Department of Sociology at Geneva College, invited sociologists from various Christian colleges to come to Geneva College for a meeting of dialogue and exchange. At that time the group was informally known as STCC (Sociologists Teaching in Christian Colleges).
