The Baylor Institute for Faith and Learning 

The Baylor Insitute for Faith and Learning serves as a local, national, and international house of studies fostering reflection and scholarship that connect faith and learning in educationally significant ways. This effort involves retrieving and revitalizing traditional Christian intellectual resources and, at times, reconceiving the relation of these resources to contemporary scholarship.

The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University

Helping church members to think with a Christian mind about the ethical issues in our society is the primary objective of the Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University. The Center publishes Christian Reflection: A Series in Faith and Ethics quarterly with themed articles, inspirational pieces, book-reviews, interviews, Christian art, worship aids, and hymns that help the church reintegrate Christian ethical reflection, worship, and art. Worship aids and lesson materials are available free on their website to enrich personal or group study of Christian Reflection.

The Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs

The Center for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland maintains a program of research projects, seminars, academic visits, fellowships, conferences and occasional publishing, and also provides a forum for public discussion both within and outside of the St. Andrews. Its field of interest comprises ethics and social and political philosophy as well as the ethical and philosophical dimensions of public affairs.

The Center for Health Care Ethics at St. Louis University

The Center for Health Care Ethics at St. Louis University aims to do academic research integrated with teaching, learning, and service in health care ethics. Center faculty provide instruction and mentoring in the Center's PhD Program and graduate Certificate Program. Center faculty also offer professional education courses at the Health Sciences Center of Saint Louis University and Saint Louis University Hospital.

The Fordham Natural Law Colloquium

The Fordham Natural Law Colloquium, founded in 2000, aims to "provide a forum for debate on all issues in contemporary law and politics, in light of the natural law tradition." The Colloquium, jointly sponsored by Fordham's philosophy department and law school, holds several lectures and panel discussions each year to reflect on various issues, from just war to stem-cell research.

The Lumen Christi Institute

The Lumen Christi Institute's mission is to advocate, nurture, and support intellectual work done in intimate and explicit relation to the Catholic Christian tradition and to the teaching authority of the Church.

The Musae Research and Service Institute
