Pastoral Ethics. A personal Journey to a life of God and serving in Ministry in the 21st Century Church

Beschreibung

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Religion, , language: English, abstract: In this book I will reflect on this topic Pastoral ethics to help those who may want to enter in this Pastoral or Ministry vocation particularly in this century, to have an extra understanding of what is expected of them. Ethics as part of Pastoral Ministry, is personal and centred around the individual's relationship with God. It is based on understanding biblical commands, principles, and rules, personal values along with love, justice, peace, equality, fairness, respect for others, and relationship with the family, church, law, finance, employment and religious traditions.Pastoral Ethics has become an imperative topic in the life of the 21st century church. For many years it was generally expected that by virtue of been a Ministers of religion, it was granted that when a person who enters into ministerial vocation, such a person would be of a high moral standard and unquestionable ethics. However this is no longer the case. The church has never been so concern about how its leaders responds to the challenges of society, which are forever changing. The church is going through serious challenges of corruption, secularism, immorality and character issues. Pastoral ministry has become demanding with more added responsibilities, which includes not only preaching, evangelism, administration, and missions, but also counselling, social ministry, nurture and fund raising, among other responsibilities.
