The team members are - Jeff Bouman, Director of the Service Learning Center, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
- Carolyne Call, Director of the Office for Civic and Social Engagement, St. Mary''s College, Notre Dame, IN
- Rebecca Flietstra, Biology Department, Point Loma Nazarene University, San Diego, CA
- Glenn Sanders, Professor of History, Chair, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee, OK
- Kurt Schaeffer, Business and Economics Department, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI

- Julie Walton, HPERDS Department, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
- Ashley Woodiwiss, Chair in Political Economy, Director of the Drummond Center for Statesmanship, Erskine College, Due West, SC
The project will culminate in a 2009 conference and a book about Christian practices and Christian pedagogy. |
