Freedom of Belief Sample Clauses

Freedom of Belief. The philosophy of the University concerning religious expression has been summarized in the following statement: Oklahoma Baptist University was founded as an institution dedicated to the pursuit of truth within the benevolent atmosphere of the Christian tradition. Though the attitudes and beliefs of individual members of the academic community generally reflect the viewpoints of the Baptist constituency, there is no attempt to seek religious conformity from students of diverse persuasions. The freedom of the individual to develop his own spiritual insights is one of the most cherished of Baptist traditions; it is of paramount importance on this campus. Students are encouraged to join faculty members for worship in local churches, in chapel services, and in special annual seminars and assemblies devoted to religious emphasis. The University regards the Baptist Faith and Message as adopted by the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma as the University’s official faith statement. See Appendix Q of this Handbook. A faculty position at Oklahoma Baptist University does not carry with it license to use the classroom to advocate positions that directly contravene the Baptist Faith and Message. Academic Freedom, as guaranteed below, clearly limits a faculty member's freedom to speak authoritatively in areas not related to his/her field of study and professional preparation.
