Abstract	Teacher education has long been a major mission of Christian colleges. Many Christian as well as public universities have teacher education programs accredited by CAEP, a national organization. Self-study for improvement is important. CAEP promises high standards, but when examined more closely, the CAEP system works at cross-purposes with teacher education that supports teaching as Christian vocation. In an era dominated by "techne," as represented in the work of Ellul and Postman, CAEP replaces human and spiritual values with those of efficiency and technique, and ignores teaching as a moral calling. Christian colleges need a better accreditation system. (As Provided).
