Divinely Inspired Constitutional Principles Seminar 2025

August 4 - 8 at Brigham Young University
This conference has really, really been wonderful. I came here because I wanted to learn about the Constitution through a faith-based lens, and I definitely got that.

I feel like we've been more so given the tools to be able to analyze and evaluate the Constitution, both from a religious perspective, and we've also been introduced to different perspectives on both sides of jurisprudence.
