The Computer Science subgroup within the ACMS is a group of Christians who are interested in the relationship between faith and computer science. Both the ACMS Journal and the ACMS conferences include papers and sessions dealing with the unique area of faith and computing.

Mailing List
There is also a mailing list hosted at Messiah College for people interested in Computer Science and Christianity. To join this mailing list, visit the CS-CHRISTIANITY mailing list page. You do not need to be a member of ACMS to join cs-christianity. About 125 folks are currently subscribed to cs-christianity. The list volume has averaged about 20 per year since the list’s January 2000 inception.
We hope to add other links relating to Computer Science and Christianity to this page in time.
