CELEA Statement about Race & Discrimination A Note from the Executive Board
CELEA is an international organization brought together by its members’ desire to serve the world by teaching English in a manner consistent with our calling and faith. As a result, we state categorically that we believe every human being to be created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and therefore, equally and inherently valuable. Discrimination based on race or ethnicity against others in any form fails to honor and respect this inherent value, and as the Board of CELEA, we condemn it in all its forms. We seek to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8), and we are committed to being agents of reconciliation and healing as we go about our calling as Christian English language educators (II Corinthians 5:11-21).

NEW LOGO ANNOUNCEMENT The CELEA Executive Board has wanted to update the CELEA logo for the past several years and we are delighted to inaugurate the new logo in our latest issue of our CELEA Newsletter! The design is from Jesse Grimm, a junior Graphic Design major from Huntington University. Several key elements of the CELEA mission are incorporated. First, the gradient coloring from black to blue, which includes various hues, indicates the multitude of contexts and settings in which we all live and teach. Next, the swooping end of the “c” which crosses behind the “l” is a subtle nod to the cross that reminds us all of the death necessary for us to have life. Finally, the end of the “c” reaching out the globe in the center of the “a” represents the reach the organization has to the world.
