AMiCUS
AMiCUS (Adventist Ministry to College and University Students)
seeks to meet the spiritual, intellectual, and social needs of Seventh-day
Adventist students on secular campuses worldwide. In cooperation with leaders
at various church levels, it aims to achieve these goals by strengthening
the faith commitment of these students to Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and
values, providing opportunities for Christian fellowship, preparing students
to deal with the intellectual challenges that arise in a secular environment,
developing their leadership abilities, and training them for outreach and
witnessing on the campus, in the community, and in the world at large.
Responsibilities
The General Conference AMiCUS Committee provides leadership and coordination
to the ministry on behalf of Adventist students in non-Adventist colleges
and universities, in cooperation with their representatives in each of the
13 world divisions.
AMiCUS carries out its main assignments, in consultation with leaders
in the world divisions, as follows:
Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries takes the initiative in providing
training for campus chaplains and pastors in university centers, and in developing
materials to support their ministry. Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries also
maintains an international list of Seventh-day Adventist campus chaplains.

Authors
Most articles published in Dialogue are assigned by the editorial
staff. However, the editors are interested in contacting possible authors
capable of producing well-written articles, interviews, and reports consistent
with Dialogue's objectives. Prospective authors are urged to carefully examine
previous issues of the journal, and submit an abstract, an outline, and a
personal background before developing a proposed article.
