The language of natural law, rarely taught or debated at any level of academic learning today, has become unspoken or misunderstood. Where taught, natural law often appears in abstruse terms alien to modern culture. Frequently introduced in the vocabulary of the elite, natural law is perceived as a study reserved only for scholars as opposed to "the everyman." Rarely analyzed are the practical applications of natural law in daily life.

In the belief that human nature provides a provocative subject for individual discernment and universal truth, the Natural Law Study Center seeks to explore both the physical and spiritual resources of the human person. Combining hard core realism with the recognition of human spirituality, natural law affirms that each person discovers truth not only through the gift of human reason, but also through the mystery of faith in God.

Some would present natural law as a sectarian theology rather than a set of univeral truths. The Natural Law Study Center, founded by Catholics, welcomes the serious inquiry of men and women of all faiths who are not afraid to explore and seek truth. Accordingly, the Study Center seeks to promote the advancement of objective truth in the modern world in ways that celebrate the universality and purpose of all human existence, regardless of nationality, gender, race or creed. From the beginning assertion that man is not the center of his universe, the Natural Law Study Center maintains that all truths lead to God. Moreover, the more that men and women discover about themselves, the more they are drawn to a close, personal, and loving relationship with their Creator.

Since the Study Center upholds the self-evident axiom that human beings must "Do Good and Avoid Evil," a primary goal, therefore, is to raise up and promote teachers of natural law to aid in the formation of a just society. These individuals will go out into the community to share the fruits of their knowledge with others, whether formally or informally. Some will be pre-existing experts in natural law who need to enhance their communication skills; others will be experts in the art of communications who seek to be grounded in their own understanding of natural law.

Seminars emphasize themes geared to a particular gathering, and are designed to reassure potential audiences that this vital topic is both fathomable and practically useful. These presentations are offered periodically to the general public or are offered on a contract-basis for private groups and institutions. A variety of themes are being considered for 2002-2003, including the following:

Ten Principles of Natural Law

Natural Law and the Entitlement to Life

Natural Law and Human Sexuality
