We believe Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is therefore, a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens
all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, the cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ
is co-ordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal
support of the churches. An adequate system of Christian education is necessary to a complete spiritual program
for Christ's people.
We believe Christian education should be a proper balance between academic freedom and academic responsibility.
Freedom in any orderly relationship of human life is always limited and never absolute. The freedom of a teacher
in a Christian school, college, or seminary is limited by the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, by the authoritative
nature of the Scriptures, and by the distinct purpose for which the school exists.
