The Spirit of the Golden Rule & the Matthew Code

Principia embraces the spirit of the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12; see also Science and Health, 497:26) and the Matthew code (Matthew 18:15-17). These are valuable tools for resolving conflict in any Christian community; they direct us to love our neighbor (each other) enough to take our concerns to one another and treat others as we would like to be treated. In thinking through how to honor these foundational Christian teachings, please ask for support from a Resident Counselor, the Director of Spiritual Life Programs, the Dean of Students, any other member of Student Life, any professor, or coach.
