This one-of-a-kind resource in professional ethics helps today's
Christian leaders maintain a high moral character and lifestyle and
sharpen their personal and professional decision-making skills. Two
experienced teachers and pastors address both current and perennial
ethical issues and offer guidance for developing a personal code of
ethics to maintain integrity in the work of ministry. The authors
address the nature of ethical decision making as well as practical
areas where integrity can be compromised, including issues raised
by the use of smartphones and social media. Appendixes include
codes of ethics from various denominations.
Ministerial Ethics provides both new and experienced pastors with
tools for sharpening their personal and professional
decision-making skills. The authors seek to explain the unique
moral role of the minister and the ethical responsibilities of the
vocation and to provide "a clear statement of the ethical
obligations contemporary clergy should assume in their personal and
professional lives." Trull and Carter deal with such areas as
family life, confidentiality, truth-telling, political involvement,
working with committees, and relating to other church staff
members.
First published in 1993, this edition has been thoroughly updated
throughout and contains expanded sections on theological
foundations, the role of character, confidentiality, and the timely
topic of clergy sexual abuse. Appendices describing various
denominational ministerial codes of ethics are included.
