Religious orientation of CPU students

Abstract

This investigation aimed to assess the religious orientation of Central Philippine University students. What is their attitude towards some of the basic religious truths embodied in the Bible as a source of inspiration and guidance in the development of a set of moral and spiritual values? Such basic beliefs as the efficacy of prayer in strengthening family ties, the notion of the good neighbor as exemplified in the parable of the good Samaritan, belief in the presence of a spiritual meaning in every human experience — these are some of the “themes” to which the students were asked to react. It might be mentioned, in this connection that these “themes” are reflected, in one way or another, in the set of objectives of Central Philippine University.
