Our Statement of Faith: The Nicene Creed
As an organization, the Scholé Communities Network is rooted in the Christian tradition, though we are not associated with any one particular denomination. As our name implies, we seek to present all teaching and learning restfully with scholé. While scholé as an idea originated with the Greeks, it was transformed and extended by the church, especially in monastic centers of education. The Scholé Communities Network seeks to recover this approach to education that is contemplative, “liturgical”, restful and full of Christian peace. Our faith commitment is summarized in the Nicene Creed (posted below).
Within our support network, each Scholé Community functions autonomously. As such, a Scholé Community may choose whether to specify a particular Christian tradition or denominational focus for their group. While the leadership of each Scholé Community should be comprised of individuals committed to the Christian faith, each Scholé Community may decide whether they wish to open enrollment up to students who represent another faith tradition, or no faith tradition.
Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father [and the Son],
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come. Amen.
