John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way”— “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”

What Jesus said about following?

'" Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."

Principles
In carrying out its mission CASWE-ACFTS is guided by the following principles:

Social work education, scholarship, research, policy and practice are reflexive, contextual, and critical processes embedded in a social justice stance and demanding professional accountability to diverse populations.
Social work educators respect difference and promote equity through valuing oppositional knowledges and interrogating dominant discourses.
Equitable participation of all member groups and individuals is fundamental to quality social work education and scholarship.
The defense of academic freedom serves to protect the critical analyses fundamental to quality social work education and scholarship.
CASWE-ACFTS acknowledges collaborative relationships with the Canadian Association of Deans and Directors of Schools of Social Work (CADDSSW), the Quebec Schools of Social Work and Thunderbird Circle – Indigenous Social Work Education Network (TC-ISWEN), in fulfilling its mission.
