Christians in Architecture and Planning
WHO OR WHAT IS CAP?
CAP began as the Association of Christians in Planning and Architecture, which started as part of an initiative by Oliver Barclay of the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) to provide support for graduates in their professional lives, and to encourage a higher profile of Christian input into professional discussions. ACPA grew out of a small writing group set up by Oliver in 1983 because he was concerned at the dearth of Christian thinking, let alone writing in this area. Since then we have done much thinking and writing, and have held conferences and seminars which have been very stimulating for those who attended.
Various events precipitated a new structure and a new existence as CAP - Christians in Architecture and Planning
