Download or read book Church Ethics and Its Organizational Context written by Jean M. Bartunek and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Ministerial Ethics in the 21St Century written by Antwon C. Lewis PhD and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are Christian ethics? A Christian’s ethics should originate within the boundaries of Christianity, and likewise, the sole basis for ethical practices and behaviors should be built upon the theological threshold of God, the Lordship of Christ his Son, and the hope of glory in habituating the new kingdom. Ministerial Ethics in the 21st Century answers fundamental questions about Christian ethics, explaining what it means to be ethical in ministry. Author Antwon C. Lewis also helps us understand what constitutes a healthy character and what role discernment plays in various ethical situations. Christian leaders will especially benefit from this study, as they can have their moral principles be influenced by scriptural standards—and not determine right or wrong based on their own value system. A crisis in today’s society does indeed exist—and our present world is challenged with a need for ministerial ethics. Therefore, thorough research and investigation are needed, and Ministerial Ethics in the 21st Century will help ameliorate continued hypocrisy and poor ministerial integrity in the church.
Download or read book Code Of Honor written by Ashish Raichur and published by All Peoples Church & World Outreach, Bangalore, India. This book was released on 2014-03-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics has to do with moral code, values and principles. While a code of conduct can be discussed and documented, the standards of ethics itself does not provide the power to keep them. The power to adhere to moral values and principles comes from within each individual. As Christian ministers, our power to walk morally upright comes from our dependence on the Lord Himself and through the grace He provides. No code of conduct, no teaching on ethics, no wise counsel or set of guidelines can help a Christian minister who does not take his/her personal walk with God seriously. In the Church today, where many of us are pressing in to more of the manifestation of God's power, anointing, signs and wonders, miracles and healings, prophetic and the supernatural - a call to godly standards of life and conduct may not be very popular. Preachers and ministers are sought after, mom for what they can manifest in one hour behind the pulpit, than for the life they live off it. It is time for us as ministers of Christ to re-establish standards of serving "God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." (Hebrews 12:28). That is what this book is about - an easy-to-read collection of ethical values, godly standards and practical wisdom for men and women in Christian ministry. Your life and ministry is sure to be enriched, if you will read this book. This book will be a useful resource for Bible Colleges, Seminaries, Bible Training Centers and wherever men and women are being trained for Christian ministry. This will also be a good handbook to teach at Pastors' Conferences and Seminars. Pastors and other ministry leaders will find it useful to use this resource as they train and prepare their ministry teams.

Download or read book A Christian Interpreter s Code of Ethics written by Julie Caliendo and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian Interpreter's Code of Ethics establishes a standard of ethical behavior and a written resource for those who believe God is calling them to participate in Deaf Ministry within the Christian church setting. It is about behavior and relationships, not the beautiful expressive language of the Deaf. It is a workbook that: - Presents real-life scenarios to prepare the workers for the everyday life. - Identifies frequent challenges and suggests resolutions to better serve communication needs. - Provides scriptural support to assist decision-making, including guided prayers. - Lays a foundation setting expectations for aspiring and tenured interpreters, ministry leaders, pastors, and church staff. What is stated here has been tried and tested, and it works! This is about behavior and relationships, not sign language. This is a guide, not the law. There are many books about starting, managing, and growing a Deaf Ministry, but they were more about administration than behavior. God prepared the author to write this book with a background in instructional design, then sent many encouragers involved for decades in Deaf Ministry to support her efforts. The initial goal of this book was and remains: for the learner to better understand the roles and responsibilities as a communication link, to perform with increased professionalism, and to serve this special calling of God with a committed mind and heart.

This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrity has been an essential component of leadership throughout the ages. The Church is facing an integrity crisis; consistently struggling with a plethora of ethical woes among several gifted leaders. Not only is the Churchs conduct in question, its very character and competence are being placed under intense scrutiny. This book explores three dimensions of integrity. It proposes that the overall process of leadership development pivots on three dimensions of integrity: personal integrity (the character of the leader), vocational integrity (the competence of the leader) and organizational integrity, (the commitment and contribution of the leader). This book also proposes that while being gifted is an asset to leadership; giftedness is never enough for successful leadership. It is the combination of giftedness + integrity3 that will facilitate effective leadership.
