I understand that the Amity Foundation has the following guidelines for its teachers:
1. Teachers are expected to respect the laws and decrees of the People’s Republic of China, and to observe the regulations of the schools to which they are assigned.
2. Teachers are expected to respect Chinese customs, especially with regard to sexual relationships. In this light, casual affairsand pre or extra-maritalrelationships are not acceptable.
3. Teachers are expected to carry out the teaching assignment agreed upon between themselves and their respective institutions. (Classes should not be rearranged to coincide with the teacher’s weekend travel and holiday plans. This may result in a deduction of salary by the school. If there is doubt concerning the availability of return tickets after traveling, teachers should carefully reconsider their arrangements.)
4. Christian teachers are welcome to attend worship services and meet with Chinese Christians. The Chinese church, being part of the Church universal, is self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating. While teachers are free to speak of religious beliefs in their conversations with students and colleagues in China, they should not engage in any activity of a proselytizing nature.
I will observe these guidelines and will respect the position of the Amity Foundation.
