We this richness by welcoming others who bring additional gifts, prize the uniqueness of all persons as God's creatures. talents and backgrounds to the community. TWe welcome all people, regardless of color, gender, religion, The spirit of inclusion at Notre Dame flows from our ethnicity, sexual orientation, social or economic class, and character as a community of scholarship, teaching, learning and nationality, for example, precisely because of Christ's calling to service founded upon Jesus Christ. As the Word through whom all treat others as we desire to be treated. We value gay and lesbian things were made, Christ is the source of the order of all creation members of this community as we value all members of this and of the moral law which is written in our hearts.

For Notre Dame, Christ is the law by which all other strangers and all may flourish. laws are to be judged. As a Catholic institution of higher learning, One of the essential tests of social justice within any Christian in the governance of our common life we look to the teaching of community is its abiding spirit of inclusion. Scriptural accounts of Christ, which is proclaimed in Sacred Scripture and tradition, Jesus provide a constant witness of this inclusiveness. Jesus sought authoritatively interpreted by Church teaching, articulated in out and welcomed all people into the Kingdom of God- the normative understandings of the human person, and continually gentile as well as the Jew, women as well as men, the poor as well deepened by the wisdom born of inquiry and experience. as the wealthy, the slave as well as the free, the infirm as well as the The rich heritage of the Catholic faith informs and transforms healthy.
