By way of introduction, Didache: Faithful Teaching, is an interdisciplinary academic journal offered on-line that explores the intersections of Christian conviction, culture and education for the Church of the Nazarene and other international Wesleyan communities in higher education. The journal is sponsored by the International Board of Education (IBOE) of the Church of the Nazarene, in cooperation with Nazarene Theological Seminary. The publication serves to foster a conversation among our diverse international communities of higher learning, each seeking to educate in various academic disciplines but all guided by Christian conviction shaped through a Wesleyan heritage. With this international context in mind our editorial focus includes articles and resources that explore intersections between:

• an emphasis on Christian faith and practice,
• an awareness of cultural influences, and
• the exploration of educational practice and administration.

Intentionally our hope remains to resource smaller communities around the globe who have little access to scholarly sources and who may find this journal helpful in shaping their education endeavors. We also include research from quality scholars and educators from around the world, some who have little opportunity to publish in other settings. The journal includes research articles, insights from the practice of teaching and learning, as well as book & resource reviews.

Editor's Introduction (Jun 2010)

Greetings and welcome to Volume 10:1 (June 2010) of Didache: Faithful Teaching. Regular participants will note that our website has gone through a renovation. The new design comes courtesy our creative web designer Shawn Stevenson, the artistic eye of Tammy Condon, and the steady leadership of Commissioner E. LeBron Fairbanks. Hopefully the new design will also make the journal more user friendly in the future, assisting readers as they explore the large array of writings from regional theology conferences around the globe.

Speaking of conferences and global settings, this edition serves as a vehicle to announce a new global theology conference within the Church of the Nazarene in 2012. A recent press release includes the following:

The International Board of Education and the eight regional education coordinators for the Church of the Nazarene globally serve as planning committee members for the two conferences. Dr. Ron Benefiel, Nazarene Theological Seminary president, serves as chair for the Global Theology Conference Planning Committee, and Dr. Loren Gresham, Southern Nazarene University president, leads the Global Faith, Learning and Living Conference.
