Be sure to put the ASA Annual Meeting (July 30­August 2, 1999) on your calendar now! We welcome contributed papers and poster presentations on all topics related to Science and Christianity. We are especially focusing on the role of science and technology to be used for the good of humankind and to show God's love for us. Please observe the Requirements and Guidelines for Abstracts presented below.

This Call for Papers is designed to be copied and posted. Besides planning your own participation, please personally invite non-members to submit proposals and to attend.

Requirements and Guidelines for Abstracts:

1. Contributions must be submitted as abstracts of 200 ­ 250 words to the ASA office for review by January 10, 1999.

a. The abstract should emphasize what is the new and important material in your presentation and contain as much detail of the work as possible.

2. Author's (or authors') full name, address, phone number and e-mail address should appear with the title centered at the top of the page. Indicate preferred mode of presentation: oral or poster.

3. Due to schedule limitations, authors may present only one paper, but they can be included on other multiple-author papers.
