Doctrinal Comments
The Doctrinal Statement contains parts from the Nicene Creed of the Orthodox Church, which we recite in original Hellenic and then English forms during our Divine Liturgy. Great statement to live by for sure.
This was a very informative workshop. Incorporating these doctrinal statements into my teaching environment is a great privilege.
Doctrinal statements help guide what we teach and why, I look forward to working with students to understand the importance of a clearly defined doctrinal statement.
I have just begun teaching on campus here at GCU and have always been Christian through the Catholic church. I have a life plan that keeps mental, physical, social, spiritual, academic, economic, humanitarian, emotional, and family issues in equilibrium, that is a good place, and will now start to incorporate more Christian views into each.
In psychology, the doctrinal statement and a Christian worldview provides a framework through which to understand human behavior. This can be utilized in many ways from understanding moral behavior with sin as a root cause or understanding how loneliness is a felt need that God desires to fill.
Lessons in art history can be effective in conveying ideas from the doctrinal statement.
I thought it was really great that they encourage faculty and students to build a relationship with the College of Theology for those tough questions or concerns.
This will be my first semester teaching in-classroom at GCU. I believe the doctrinal statement provides a great framework and platform for sharing and integrating our Christian beliefs within the context of the course and its context to everyday life.
I have not began teaching a class at GCU yet but listening to the doctrinal statement reminds me of the Apostle Creed that I recite in church every Sunday. This is a creed that I try to live by and I have intentions of teaching in the same manner. Religion is so important in healthcare and being able to share the scientific knowledge along with prayer is a vital part of educating the future.
The Doctrinal statement serves a beacon for the class , in the sense where it guides the direction of the learning process and can emit inspiration throughout the course work.
Although I have yet to begin my teaching, I visualize using the Doctrinal Statement within the course policy documents. I see it as an example of behaviors that I need to adhere to during stressful times. I think the Doctrinal Statement could be adapted by those students who aspire to the Christian faith in their actions with one another.
I teach Bible and theology and Christian Worldview so the doctrinal statement is a critical component of what I do: namely, what are the core of our beliefs and how does that impact our understanding of the Scriptures and our view of the world
I have followed the doctrinal statement my entire life. It is similar to the apostle creed in Catholicism that I learned many years ago. I practice it daily in my life. ..... "They will know were are Christian's by our Love by our Love" "Lord make me an instrument of your Peace"
Hi Alexander,
I am new to GCU. Thank you for sharing your practice and bringing back good memories. I spent 12 years in parochial schools and remember singing the words you mentioned. I will use them in my teaching practice as well as one of my favorites- the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I feel strongly about the Doctrinal Statement and will love to incorporate the message in my classroom. I feel I should always be the representative of Jesus Christ where I am.
