| Summary: | SCHOLARS LIKE BURTCHEALL and Sloan have reached pessimistic conclusions about the future of distinctively Christian higher education. This paper outlines the endeavors of Trinity Western University in Langley, Canada, to define and implement core values that, it hopes, will maintain its long-term viability as a unique, soundly evangelical and academically responsible institution of Christian higher education. Its core values include obeying the authority of Scripture, pursuing faith-based and faith-affirming learning, having a transformational impact on culture, striving for excellence, modeling servant leadership as a way of life, and growing disciples through community. |
