Because the freedom of inquiry is essential to the principles of academia at the heart of the vision and mission of SATC, instructors and students at SATC have the freedom to teach or communicate ideas and/or facts without fear or favour and whether or not they may be inconvenient to any authorities. This freedom of speech guarantees liberty to question and to analyze received wisdom, and to have and to share opinions.  

All true knowledge is revealed and ruled by the Lord. All domains such as science, art, music, dance, literature, technology as well as theology are all fields for exploration and discovery. When Christ makes us free, we are free indeed (John 8:46), unfettered to live and to learn. Guide to Church Membership, pages 88-89
