I am still in disbelief... I could get an email like this in the XXI century... I could imagine this to happen in local community high-schools, but at the University level?! Names erased for privacy purposes.. Dear Dr. Brinca, Thank you for your interest in the Assistant Professor position in macroeconomics that we hope to fill by the beginning of the 2014-2015 academic year. XXXX College is a Protestant Christian liberal arts college. All of our full-time faculty and staff are evangelical Protestant Christians who affirm the attached Statement of Faith and adhere to lifestyle expectations as expressed in the attached Community Covenant. Please let me know if you can affirm the Statement of Faith and Community Covenant as an evangelical Protestant Christian and provide us with a brief description of your faith background. A satisfactory affirmation at this stage of the process is critical given XXXX College’s Christian identity and mission. If your response is a positive one, then you will receive an application form in the next stage of the process. In addition to the standard job market items, such as teaching evaluations, scholarly work, and professional letters of recommendation, the application form will require you to provide items that are specific to XXXX College because of its Christian identity and mission. These items include short essays on your professional development, your understanding of a liberal arts education and its relationship to the Christian faith, your understanding of the relationship of the Christian faith to your discipline, and your faith journey and how it has been expressed in the life of the church, as well as pastoral and personal letters of recommendation. We recognize that these items require additional work on your part at a busy time, but they are important components of your application file and should help you in clarifying your sense of calling to join the faculty of XXXX College. Regards, XXXX, XXXX XXXXX Associate Professor of Business and Law Chair, Business and Economics Department XXXXXX College XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
