What unites [readers of this journal] is the Gospel of Christ, our Savior and Lord, who invites allegiance and calls us to lead a life that is deeply committed to the scriptural injunction not to be conformed to the patterns of this age, but to be re-formed by the renewal of our consciousness, so that we may discern what God wills for our lives—our scientific practices included. Ultimately our sciences and their practices are not what unite us, no matter how firm our allegiance to an academic discipline or professional association may be. But clearly there are particular views on offer that energize us and even seemingly divide us in implementing Christ’s call to be his servants in our scientific practice.
