Church Ethics and Its Organizational Context is the first book to
provide a broadly interdisciplinary approach to understanding the
leadership crisis in the Catholic Church in the wake of the sex
abuse scandal and how it was handled. Well-known scholars,
religious clergy, and laymen in the trenches of church formation
and leadership come together from the disciplines of organizational
behavior, theology, sociology, history, and law, to foster the
creation of a new code of ethics that is both ecclesial and
professional. Touching on issues of governance, authority,
accountability, and transparency, this volume goes on to
specifically explore whether and how professional ethics can shape
the identity and actions of Church leaders, ministers, and their
congregations. While evoked by the sex scandal in the Church, the
essays in this book raise questions that have implications far
beyond this current issue, to much broader issues such as the role
of professionalism in ethics and what it means for an organization
to engage in moral action.
