"An interactive course for Christian leaders. We seek to develop the relevance, foundations, substance and processes of ethical thought and action that need to be understood and practiced by Christian leaders of integrity and spiritual maturity. This course offers insight into the contrasting visions of our world and the alternative systems of moral values resulting from these divergent worldviews. An understanding of these visions and values should help Christians better appreciate why they feel pulled in conflicting moral directions and why it is not always easy to follow Jesus' moral teaching and example. Specific issues that Christians need to confront are discussed in light of biblical teaching and practice. However, the actual process of choosing how to live faithfully as a follower of Jesus also requires wisdom, courage, decisiveness and responsible action by individual Christians as well as Christian communities. Both personal and organizational ethics will be introduced."
