* An important new work on ministerial ethics in response to clergy misconduct * Relates to all practices of ministry in all settings and denominations * Grounds ministerial effectiveness in ethics and ethics in truth
Behind all the issues of ministerialconduct and character lies a simplereality. The heart of ministerial ethicsand integrity, argues Barbara Blodgett, is trust - trust expected, trust earned, trust practiced. Trust, she says, isundermined by three trust-busterscommon in the church: secrecy, gossip, and lying. For Blodgett, trust is not an emotionor intention but a transaction. Peopleentrust each other with things they value, and that interaction endows arelationship. In the aggregate, theycreate community. By focusing oncrucial practices of trust, a unique newframework for ministerial identity andethics is created.
