1) What we understand by the term “academic freedom’. ( 2) The Guidelines Committee report. 3) Discussion about additional major projects (alongside ICS) that AACS may wish to sponsor. 4) An oral report by one ICS faculty member on the research he is presently doing. * Curator Reappointed Rev. Jack Vos of Toronto was reappointed to the Curatorium for a five year term. * Trustee Resigns Rev. Louis Tamminga reluctantly resigned as Trustee from Region 7 (central Ontario, eastern U.S.A.) because of the press of other responsibilities. Rev. Tamminga has been involved in AACS board work for many years and we will miss his contribution. The members in Region 7 will be sent a ballot to elect his replacement. * Trustee Re-elected Rev. H. Lunshof of Woodstock was re-elected as Trustee by the members of Region 5 (southwest Ontario) for a second 3-year term.
JANUARY 2 - 5 CURATORMEETINGS * ICS Fellows Dr. Bob Goudzwaard, professor of Economics at the Free University of Amsterdam, and Dr. Peter Schouls, chairman of the Department of Philo sophy at the University of Alberta (Edmonton), were appointed to the newly created position of Fellows of the ICS. Fellows are spiritual kindred; coMpetent scholars who are willing to make regu lar, tangible contributions to the ongoing academic work of the ICS. * Academic Contacts The ICS faculty was encouraged to continue its attempts to broaden academic contacts with colleagues and institutions of various reli gious and academic positions. * ICS Constitution The Curators considered a draft of an internal constitution, regu lating the policy making and implementation channels in the ICS. The constitution, which focussed on the roles of ICS faculty and students in drafting recommendations, will be finalized at the March 8 - 9 Curators meetings. The ICS faculty and Board of Curators spent an entire day consider ing specific curricular programs for the Institute. The very dif ficult matter of “how soon” and “to what extent” and “with what specific objectives in mind” should the ICS begin M.A. programs took most of the discussion time. Final decisions await future meetings. Perspective Newsletter - S - January/February, 1974.
* Appointment to be made in Philosophy The Curators decided to fill the vacancy in the history of Philo sophy occasioned by Dr. Runner’s decline of this appointment. A recommendation will be made to the ‘Board of Trustees. * Curator Resigns Rev. Peter Jonker of Brampton, Ontario informed the Curators that he was submitting his resignation (as a Curator) to the Board of Trustees because he had accepted a call to be a minister of a church in Richmond, British Columbia. Rev. Jonker served as a Trustee from 1965 to 1968 and as a Curator from 1967 to the present. His wisdom has been very valuable. Everyone-One Sharing
As new members join AACS we are becoming more aware that membership is a two way ( matter. We learn a lot from many new ‘members about their activities and ideas. In turn we are happy that they learn some things from us that enrich their Christian development.
PAT DEAN
Is it ever easy to be a Christian? I don’t think so ... We live in a world which is fallen; the effects of the first sin preclude a life of ease for Christi3ns.
This is true particularly in the university. A combination of idola trous teaching and unfaithful living make it difficult for Christians (particularly those whose faith is an ‘environmental’ one) to serve Christ. It is even more difficult for someone to become a completely new person in Christ Jesus. However, the Holy Spirit can work through the excitement and questioning of the university years- - and the nearly impossible happens- -people do become Christians at university. Miraculously, that was my experience. High school searching continued in university. I even went so far as to attend York Christian Fellow ship meetings. How dull. How preposterous as wells The Bible--the Word of God? Christ-- divine? Christianity- -the only way? Balderdash! These ideas were easy to shrug off, until I met people who had experienced (, the realities of Christ’s existence, of his extraordinary care for them. ...Slowly, the realization came that there was no other choice. One night, alone in my room, I committed my life to Christ. And that began a whole new life. Perspective

Most of us sat on the floor in the auditorium. Again this feeling of being one in Christ was so strong I could almost feel it physically. It was expressed in the singing, the reading of the Scrip tures, and dramatically, as the loaves of brown bread and the glasses of wine were passed from one person to another. A personal reminder was given by whoever happened to be sitting next to you on the meaning of communion, as he or she gave you a portion of the loaf and a sip of the wine. Communal prayer followed, with expressions of thankful ness, requests for guidance and strength and continuing growth, and patience, as God’s Spirit is at work in us. Personally, this conference was a wonderful experience. I was 1300 miles away from home, but felt right at home. I enjoyed fantastic fellowship with these people, and felt a kinship that comes only through our mutual friend, Jesus. Somehow the rumour circulated that I was studying at ICS and many came to me to convey greetings to their friends in Toronto. [‘rn really bad with names, so if you had friends in the mid-west who were there, con sider yourself greeted.
A number of people had vague notions of what ICS was and wanted to know more. It really emphasized in my mind the need for maintaining close contact with all the organizations such as Young Life, the Pitts ( burgh Coalition for Christian Outreach, just to name a few, which are all involved in God’s Kingdom at various levels, be it high school, college or post-graduate. We have a lot to learn from each other, a lot to share with each other and a mandate to share Christ’s power in us communally with the world. * Miki is a registered psychiatric nurse employed by the Clark In stitute of Psychiatry in Toronto and enrolled in two psychology courses at the ICS.
Correction
We misquoted a statement by Bonnie Greene from her B.C. conference lecture in the last issue of Perspective which said, “A washing machine goes through 12 cycles”. This is, of course, ridiculous and we apologize for letting this error slip by. Mrs. Greene’s lecture focussed on the waste of resources and used the example that some dish washers use 17 gallons of water, plus power; there fore, some women should consider doing the dishes by hand. Sorry, Bonnie! (

KEEPING TROTH IN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY I Dr. James Olthuis is speaking on the theme of troth in his Discovery lectures this year. His soon to be published book, Keeping Troth is a backdrop for his lectures. Instead of one specific lecture Olthuis speaks on ques tions raised by his audiences concerning the concept of marriage and the variety of prob lems that come up in marital relationships. “The Word of God defines man and gives him his calling,” says Olthuis, “and one of his many callings is marriage. Man has many problems with his self identity but when he knows and understands his task, his self identity is guaranteed. So when man under stands his calling in marriage he knows what sort of direction to take in this task. iuis--on prob “Male and femaleness refer to much more lems and meaning of than being husband and wife; God intends marriage. man and woman to be partners in creation in everything. No one relationship, including marriage, can satisfy all the needs of a man and woman. If a marriage is pressured to deliver everything in life, it will not be able to de liver much of anything. Marriage is a specific task. ( “The Word of God for marriage is found in Genesis 2:24 ‘a man and woman become one flesh’. This becoming one flesh refers to more than sexual intercourse; it refers to troth. Troth is fidelity to one’s partner-- it means that husband and wife can count on each other; there is a mutual dependence and trust involved in the marital relationship. This goes against much current theory and practice in North America where husbands and wives often live under the constant tension of losing each other. “The important point in a marital relationship is that the partners’ mutual trust is grounded in the knowledge that their relationship depends upon and flourishes in God’s covenantal faithfulness. Viewed from the deepest dimension of human experience His Word for marriage brought them together and keeps them together.”
James Olthuis and Harry Fernhout have given these presentations in Edmonton, Alberta; Sarnia, Toronto, and St. Catharines, Ontario; and Grand Rapids, Michigan. They, with Dr. Mary VanderGoot also par ticipated in a Discovery V mini-conference November 9-10, 1973, spon sored by the Vancouver area AACS chapter. Although the attendance was lower than expected, this format allowed for small group dis cussions which were much appreciated by those who attended this con ference. C
