Invitation to join the ST&F Network
Invitation to join the ST&F Network

Join the ST&F Network, and help your church. The Network constitutes a pool of resource people with scientific and technical background who can serve as consultants for the Episcopal Church, through its various committees, commissions, and boards--especially the Executive Council Committee on Science, Technology and Faith.

The Network serves as an Association for Episcopalians interested in how faith and ethics interact with technology and science (including medicine, environmental studies, and other disciplines). Any Episcopalian, lay or ordained, with an interest in the interactions of faith with science and technology may belong to Network as Regular Members. There is no limit to its size, and no formal training in a scientific or theological discipline is required. Non-Episcopalians are welcome to become Associate Members and to enjoy the benefits of the Network.

The duties of Regular Members are as follows:
  • to serve as resource and research persons on special topics, according to expertise, interest, and ability
  • to assist in publicizing the existence and activities of the Network in publications at the diocesan and provincial level
  • to bring topics of local, national and global interest to the attention of the Steering Board for possible further research and/or action
  • to support the activities of the Network with payment of an annual Newsletter subscription fee
  • to be willing to attend Network functions and meetings, as able

While no one should anticipate becoming rich, powerful or famous through membership in the Network, still there are benefits to be enjoyed, including:
  • subscription to the electronic newsletter (paper copy will be mailed if requested)
  • opportunities to serve the Episcopal Church through the agenda of the Committee on SciTech&Faith (for specifics, see "What are the SciTech&Faith subcommittees up to?" below)
  • opportunities to write educational materials for use by the wider church
  • opportunities to meet and interact with other members face to face at the annual meeting, held in connection with the Roundtable (see "Roundtable" below)
  • the chance to stand for election to the Steering Board of the Network (see "Come to Louisville" below), which interacts with the Executive Council's Committee on Science, Technology and Faith

Current and new members are humbly yet strongly requested and encouraged to send their Newsletter subscription fee (at least $10, more if able, as a tax-deductable donation) to the Network Treasurer. Mail checks payable to "Network for Science, Technology and Faith" to:
