When I can confidently predict that my students, having developed an intentional habit of obedience or disobedience, will obey in this or that circumstance, I can credit him with character. Every moral choice has a rationale behind it, and one indispensable task of Christian education is to constantly expose that rationale, whether for good or ill.                                                  Wisdom and Eloquence

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead…                                                         Apostle’s Creed
