Dear colleagues: I view discussions about the impact of theistic versus naturalistic worldviews--broadly defined--on teaching psychology as an appropriate topic for TIPS, but I understand that the vast majority of TIPS subscribers are probably not interested in discussing the teaching of psychology from a decidedly Christian worldview.
However, I have spoken with a number of you who are interested in continuing discussions on the integration of Christianity and teaching. To meet these needs, I am in the initial stages of developing a listserve to address the teaching of psychology from a Christian worldview. The overall purpose of this listserve will be to promote teaching improvement among psychology faculty within Christian higher education by providing a daily forum for the exchange of ideas and information related to the integration of Christianity and teaching. I also want to make this listserve available to Christian psychology professors who teach at secular schools as well as to professors who may not profess a Christian faith but are nonetheless interested in learning more about the teaching of psychology from a Christian worldview. The idea behind this list is not to debate the value of a Christian worldview, but rather to provide an opportunity for those with common interests to share ideas and further develop their own effectiveness as teachers of psychology. This new listserve will not be called "Christian TIPS"--that was put in the subject line of this email just to get your attention. We will decide on a name as we get further along in developing this listserve. Additionally, the purpose of this new listserve is not to replace TIPS but rather to complement it by providing an additional perspective on the teaching of psychology. Please note that I'm not suggesting that you should leave TIPS to join this listserve. I'm planning on keeping my TIPS subscription and actively participating in TIPS discussions. If you are interested in joining this new listserve, please send a private email to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will record your name and email address and contact you when we get the list up and running. Also, please feel free to forward this email to other academic listserves or to other individuals who you think might be interested in joining this new list. I look forward to hearing from you.
