Call for Nominations
The Presbyterian Association on Science, Technology and the Christian Faith recognizes members of the Presbyterian Church (USA) who have distinguished themselves in the furtherance of PASTCF’s objectives, either in the church or in the wider society, with two types of awards. The Board invites members to submit nominations for 2025 award recipients.
The Daniel W. Martin Recognition
“Science as Christian Vocation”
This award recognizes Presbyterian scientific and technology professionals whose lives demonstrate that scientific endeavor, science teaching, and technological development are all parts of God’s calling, and part of their call to serve God’s people and the world through their professional work.
In considering nominees, the Board is looking particularly for two qualities: (1) in what ways has the nominee’s Christian commitment affected how he or she understands and performs his or her professional work; and (2) in what ways have insights gained from his or her professional work enhanced and enriched the nominee’s understanding of and commitment to the Christian faith.
