We use the sciences to accelerate excellent contributions from Christians to life’s biggest questions. Our Vision We envision a world where all of the most talented scientific minds contribute to solving big, global problems, and contribute to human thriving. In this world… … it is both common and expected that scientists are people of faith, specifically, of the Christian faith. … the perspective of a person of faith is sought out and valued for the purposeful lens through which they view the issues facing the world, and the unique opportunities their faith inspires them to see within the challenges. …there is no negative stereotype about, or bias against, people of faith, that would limit their ability to learn the sciences, obtain advanced education and opportunities within the sciences, or be placed in leadership roles on the cutting edge of scientific and technological development. …the sciences are used as tools for doing theology that matters. …the sciences are seen as tools for supporting and improving ministry. …theology is a well-spring for new scientific research. …the sciences and theology have brought about new insights about human thriving. Blueprint 1543, Our Name Blueprint 1543 is rich with meaning. The core of our name is the year 1543 which is often referred to as the start of the “scientific revolution” due to the publishing of two key books (by Copernicus and Vesalius). We hope to bring about yet another scientific revolution, a revolution where one’s faith is inspiration for one’s scientific work. The term blueprint is meant to represent two distinct things. First, we believe that the sciences are a way to see God’s blueprint for the world made real. Second, our role is that of blueprint designers. Our preferred method is to strategize and develop plans we bring others into. A blueprint will determine the things that are core to a solid foundation, but leaves the particulars to the one bringing the blueprint to life. We hope to do the same with our collaborations. By combining the legacy of 1543 and with God’s blueprint for the world we are building on the past, designing for the future. Our History Blueprint 1543 launched in October of 2019. Our start-up funding is thanks to a generous grant and some individual donations. Learn more about co-founders Justin Barrett and Rebecca Dorsey Sok.
