Agency

What's at issue

Individual moral agency — the God-given freedom to choose — and the accountability each person carries before God for the exercise of that agency within their covenants, family obligations, and stewardships. Score when the document substantively engages this religious doctrine of moral responsibility before God. NOT generic ethical reasoning, public-policy accountability, or secular discussions of free will.

Where it appears in the Proclamation

• Paragraph 3 — The Eternal Family in God's Plan
