Ethics is a Theological Task
The core values and educational philosophy of the Alexandrian Institute are deeply rooted in the Great Tradition of Christian thought. This tradition stands under Scripture's authority and the Church's historic consensus to do theology and engage God's world with his truth. To confess Christ is to confess the goodness of his ways, with the Church and to the world. We must grow in theological wisdom to know and articulate God's good, perfect, and pleasing will for his creatures amidst the ethical and cultural chaos of our world.
