As students of Brigham Young University, we seek to integrate study and faith. Of all the capacities which God has given us, reason is that which draws us nearest to Him, and causes us to become like Him. As such, learning is a form of worship. However, human reason is limited by our natural constraints, and can only be fully understood by the light of divine revelation. Accordingly, we embrace the search for Truth in every form, and would cultivate the love for contemplation and self-improvement among all men.
We believe that men live under a law inherent to their nature and existence, and that while they are free to act and not to be acted upon, they cannot escape the purpose of their creation. We recognize that each person is a distinct and unique creation of deity; yet fundamentally all are equal in bearing His holy image. We celebrate the richness of human existence in all of its particularities, the experience of which is possible through the constraints of our humanity. We oppose those who would efface the vital distinctions which make life in community meaningful.
We boldly assert that the only way to experience true human flourishing is through a life of virtuous action. Against the barren relativism which sweeps modern society, we propose a life lived in pursuit of the beautiful and the noble.
We believe that the family forms the foundation of civilization, and that community is its pillar. We seek to combat the moral solipsism eclipsing our society by helping people come together in meaningful ways, and building deeper, more meaningful, and more extensive relationships at all stages of their lives. Against consumerism, we propose confraternity.
Accordingly, we seek to understand the events of our time, both here at BYU and in the world at large, and to advocate for meaningful reform in response to the issues that arise. The challenges which face our time are immense, and only by a recognition and courageous championing of the common good of mankind in the fullest sense of the word- moral, material, and communal- can we overcome the difficulties which confront us.
