Abstract: ACL's vision is to be an "influential, vibrant, growing community that integrates faith, ministry, and academic librarianship through development of members, services, and scholarship."This is a notable vision and one that the editorial team of The Christian Librarian (TCL) embraces.While some indicators of this vision are obvious, others may not be so.For example, librarians often times see the giving of their time, talents, and resources to an association like ACL as similar to serving in the context of a church.Their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ often drives their desire to participate in ACL.This is an excellent example of the integration of faith, ministry, and academic librarianship.ACL members understand the critical role that librarianship plays in the 21 st century.However, it is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that drives our involvement with ACL, and perhaps for some, or maybe even most of us, it is that same faith that drives our involvement with librarianship.
