How Do We Define
Social Conservatism?

Part 3: Challenges of Social Conservatism Today

In this final session, Mr. Perkins shows how social conservatism is not a static position, but does engage in a contemporary context.  Educational issues are often emphasized in social conservatism.  Mr. Perkins shows that certain basic principles of religion, morality, and law remain the same, but the application of those principles to new and changing issues demands a constant “passing on” of those principles from one generation to the next, which must process these same timeless principles in its own context.  Yet in all this, social conservatism believes it transcends “temporary” politics to champion those principles that promotes human flourishing, in all times and all places.
