<p class="MsoNormal">Dear fellow intellectual freedom champions,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently writing a chapter on intellectual freedom from a Christian perspective for a book on Christian librarianship. I know this will be an intersection of topics that not all of you will have interest in, but if anyone is willing
to spend some time reviewing work in progress and providing input I would be most grateful. I have a first draft of the first section laying out some basic principles. The plan is for the second part of the chapter to apply those principles to a few specific
issues. My deadline is end of August, so I’m looking for a couple folks who have some time and willingness this summer to read and provide input, probably in a few iterations. If anyone is interested, please contact me directly and I can send what I have at
this point. I’m happy to have conversation with anyone on this topic as well. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
