We are Taylor University faculty, staff and students who defend historic, orthodox Christian doctrines in the context of contemporary moral, social and political issues.

We also believe, among other things:

1. the traditional view of marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman;
    

2. that respect for the rule of law and the principle of equal liberty are essential to civic order and human flourishing; 
    

3. that a conservative-libertarian approach to race relations is most respectful of ethnic minorities and holds out the most promise for long term social justice in this country; and
    

4. that all human beings bear the image of God and therefore (a) human fetal life deserves full protection under the law, (b) we have a duty to help and protect the poor and vulnerable, and (c) this has significant implications for human sexuality and gender identity.
