Description

Christian ethics is born out of conflict. The call to Christian discipleship brings us face to face
with conflicts and crises that inform our very being. The course aims to foster a critical ethical
awareness rooted in our contemporary time and place that might elucidate some of these
conflicts in our personal lives, faith communities, and society. We will reflect on what it means
to respond faithfully as practicing Christian ethicists and, just as importantly, how to account for
those responses with reference to conflicts in and around Scripture, theological traditions,
personal experiences, and our reasoning capacities. We will examine key sources, methods,
concerns, and practices of Christian ethics with the belief that personal, interpersonal, and social
conflict present an opportunity for faithful transformation of the Church and the world.
