The American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) is a fellowship of men and women in science and related disciplines, who share a common fidelity to the Bible and a commitment to integrity in the practice of science. Founded in 1941, the organization currently has a worldwide membership of around 1,500. ASA's stated purpose is to investigate any area relating to Christian faith and science and to make known the results of such investigations for comment and critique by the Christian community and the scholarly community at large.The ASA logo represents the convergence of two perspectives and commitments. The horizontal arrow represents knowledge obtained through empirical exploration of nature. The vertical arrow represents God’s revelation to us of the spiritual dimension. The juxtaposition of these two arrows creates a third diagonal arrow representing the integration of science and Christian faith.
Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith (PSCF) and the ASA Web Site are two means through which the results are disseminated. The Faith-Science Blog and ASA Listserv provide further information and opportunities for discussion.
Annual Meetings are held each summer in the US and occasionally with the Canadian Scientific and Christian Affiliation (CSCA) and Christians in Science (CIS) in the UK. Local ASA Sections hold meetings on themes related to the purposes of the organization.
