To discover, and help others discover, Christianity's reasonable foundation
Concise purpose statement:To discover, and help others discover, Christianity's reasonable foundationEnhanced purpose statement: The purpose of the FRC is twofold: first, to explore the issues (primarily the philosophical ones) related to the intellectual foundations of (arguably) the most-foundational doctrines (or families of doctrines) of the Christian faith in order to discover the most-intellectually-credible understandings that are possible (or "best-possible understandings") of those doctrines; and second, to explain our best understandings of those best-possible understandings to anyone who is interested in hearing them, reading them, and/or interacting with us about them in the hope that in doing so we will help each other to discover at least some, and hopefully many, aspects of the best-possible understandings.
