		<description><![CDATA[As the Executive Director of the only Global network of individual Christian scholars, I&#039;d like to note that the non-dualist vision that Gene Fant lays out (following David Dockery&#039;s work) is gaining considerable ground internationally.  This is evident at two levels.  

First, a praxis-oriented model has taken hold not only in the growth of service-learning and internships, but also in institutions like the Dutch Christian Hogeschools.  These Dutch institutions insist on their Christian character and an underlying worldview, but also insist on excellent technical training.  The Christian Hogeschools (Ede and Gouda in particular) are consistently ranked in top four.  

Second, Christians around the world are founding new institutions of higher education which recognize the dead end of sepparating belief from practice.  There is no enduring practice without orthodoxy.  I have many stories to demonstrate this--from Indian institutions shocked at their own secularization under the siren song of liberal epistemology to an African renaissance fueled by their own wholistic religious traditions.]]></description>
