>Lifestyle Guidelines
>
>Our lifestyle guidelines reflect the mission of 
>Eastern Nazarene College and Manual of the 
>Church of the Nazarene, including the Agreed 
>Statement of Belief, The Covenant of Christian 
>Character and The Covenant of Christian 
>Conduct. The premise of our lifestyle 
>guidelines is to exemplify such personal, moral, 
>and religious conduct as shall be above 
>reproach. This lifestyle premise is for everyone 
>working and living on campus: students, faculty, 
>staff, and administration. This lifestyle 
>premise is a rationale for desirable behavior and attitudes.
>
>We, as a Christian community, commit ourselves 
>to the admonition of the Apostle Paul that we 
>build our community up in love for each other. 
>We will actively endeavor to be supportive and 
>caring for each other in spite of whatever 
>differences may develop concerning the operation 
>of the College. While honest differences may 
>exist and be vigorously debated, the College 
>will not condone personal attacks on other members of the community.
>
>To be in accord with the purposes and spirit of 
>the College and with the doctrines and standards 
>of the Church of the Nazarene, our lifestyle 
>practices exclude: engaging in sexual acts 
>outside of Christian marriage as defined by the 
>Church of the Nazarene, the use of pornography, 
>any acts of abuse, bullying or harassment, the 
>use of profanity, gambling, theft, dishonesty, 
>using tobacco in any form, participation in the 
>occult and any other behavior that is 
>detrimental to authentic Christian community and 
>the maintenance of an atmosphere conducive to abundant life.
>
>The historic understanding of ENC and the Church 
>of the Nazarene with respect to alcohol is that 
>abstinence best reflects our commitments to 
>Christ, to our community and to holy living. 
>This position is rooted in our acknowledgement 
>of the destructive consequences in individuals, 
>families and communities that can stem from the 
>use of alcohol and demonstrates our commitment 
>to standing in solidarity with those who have 
>suffered from these consequences. As a result, 
>it continues to be our strong preference that 
>all employees abstain from the use of alcoholic 
>beverages. However, we respect the fact that our 
>employees come from a variety of denominational 
>backgrounds that may not share this commitment 
>to abstinence. Our expectation, therefore, is 
>that all employees will abide by the behavioral 
>commitments of their local church, will avoid 
>drunkenness, and will under no circumstances 
>possess, use, promote or distribute alcoholic 
>beverages on campus, at any college event, or in the presence of students.
>
>Additionally, ENC prohibits the possession, use, 
>distribution or manufacture of illegal drugs and 
>recreational marijuana, and the misuse of prescription drugs.
>
>The College expects all employees to live by 
>this lifestyle premise. We ask for an 
>understanding of the need for lifestyle 
>standards, a good spirit in keeping them, and 
>cooperative efforts in improving them. As ENC 
>employees, we ask you to consider the larger 
>picture that what we do and the manner in which 
>we do it reflects on ENC and affects the life of 
>our entire community. We encourage prayerful 
>discernment in all decision-making, as our 
>desire is to glorify God in all our efforts.
>
>Equal Opportunity
>Eastern Nazarene College policy prohibits 
>discrimination on the basis of race, sex, 
>religion*, age, color, creed, national or ethnic 
>origin, marital status, disability, genetic 
>information, or any other protected class in all 
>aspects of employment including the decision to 
>hire, promote, discipline, or discharge. We 
>actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups.*
>
>*Christian Faith and employment at Eastern 
>Nazarene College: Eastern Nazarene College is an 
>expression of the Church of the Nazarene. It 
>reserves the right to prefer employees on the 
>basis of religion (Title VII, Section 702-703, 
>U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964). Preferred 
>candidates demonstrate a strong commitment to 
>the Christian faith, active participation in a 
>local church, and a philosophy of Christian 
>higher education consistent with the Wesleyan tradition.
