Leadership Ethics

This course explores the nature and necessity of moral leadership in church and society. In conversation with Scripture and theology, we will explore various ethical theories and their relevance to the goals and practices of leadership as understood in the context of Christian faith. A significant component of this course will be applied ethics in leadership, addressing such areas as the importance of character, the use of power, truthtelling, inclusive decision making, sexuality, functioning with integrity in organizational and institutional contexts, the use of resources, and contributing to the formation of a just community.
