Privacy Policy and Security Agreement

Ethics:

The Second 8th Week University adheres to and expects adherence to the highest ethical standards for Christian Choice Education. We believe it is unethical to provide or support Christian Education that:

Sets standards by paradoxical faith models
Has benchmarked faith protocols that bring faith into crisis
Has not rated the performance of the Christian Performance Index (CPI)
Neglected rate accountability
Provided Christian Industry impact studies without regard to proper Cause and Effect Mapping
Merchandised the suffering of faith participants
Exploits faith participants on the emotional level
Exploits faith participants on the intellectual level
Exploits faith participants on the financial level
Exploits faith participants on the behavioral level
Promise positive faith outcomes yet neglect to provide the tools that facilitate that outcome
Mitigate human suffering with spiritual tools that produce low-end spiritual yield
Uses a Sliding Scale to adjusts to program recall
Uses the conscience as a record of faith

We believe many unethical practices go on unchecked in the faith community and we are ready to act as a bridge to facilitate Remedial Christian Education that addresses and removes these unethical practices. Choice Education empowers leadership with knowledge of the Second Covenant faith protocols, doctrine, and discipline that Jesus will mediate. Choice Education provides labs in which students learn how to understand Exigent Faith Symptoms and behavior and track them from the doctrine to the tool to the experience. Pattern recognition protocols, Cause and Effect Mapping, and Multi-Scale analysis are all ways in which the next generation of leaders are being prepared with new ethical standards for faith.
