Here down under the closest thinbg we have to CIS or ASA is ISCAST, the
Institute for the Study of Christianity in an age of Science and Technology. We
(I am both on a fellow and on the board) have a modest web site at
http://www.iscast.org.au/. It would be really great if this were posted onto
the ASA links age (after vetting of course!). We already have links to the ASA
, CIS, and CTNS.
