PELLA, Iowa (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty touted his evangelical background and offered a sharply conservative social message as he opened a lecture series sponsored by politically important social and religious conservatives who are testing Republican presidential contenders on their views on key issues.

Pawlenty met with reporters and delivered a lecture to members of The Family Leader, formerly known as the Iowa Family Policy Center, also meeting privately with key activists. The Family Leader is inviting potential presidential candidates to the state, which begins the presidential nominating process. Those events will continue through the spring.

Pawlenty stressed the ties to religion that he would bring to a potential bid for the nomination, saying in the speech at Pella Christian High School that his religious values shape his politics and policies.

"This is a country founded under God," said Pawlenty. "That leads you to other values, starting with a respect for life."
