TL;DR: This paper describes the development of a prototype website providing access to resources related to faith and technology.
Abstract: A wealth of material related to the interactions between faith and technology has been generated over time to help Christian engineers reflect on and evaluate their work and technology development more generally. However, there is currently no central location where this large variety of resources can easily be accessed. This paper will describe the process of developing a faith and technology resource hub. The vision for the hub is that it will include a comprehensive searchable directory of resources addressing faith and technology, as well as a browsable organized, curated, and annotated set of webpages containing links to particularly important and relevant references. This could be viewed as a continuation of work that was presented in a panel session at the 2009 Christian Engineering Conference titled “The Christian Engineer’s Bookshelf.” This panel was an initial attempt at identifying a set of foundational resources that Christians involved in technology could consult to bring their faith to bear on their work. The paper will include a review of other organizations and websites that offer repositories or collections related to this subject. It will provide details about the processes used to gather citations, with Zotero as the backbone for source gathering and organization. It will describe the prototype website format and capabilities, as well as presenting a set of questions that will be used to obtain feedback from conference participants. This work is funded by a grant from the Calvin Center for Christian Scholarship.
