Book excerpt: Like most community leaders, clergy are constantly asked to make decisions that have far-reaching effects. For clergy, the matter is particularly complicated because of the many arenas in which they operate--counseling, church management, community affairs, ecumenical relationships, denominational politics, and others. In Pastoral Ethics, Gaylord Noyce looks at clergy as professionals, and shows what can be learned from the professional ethics of other disciplines. He also demonstrates the special responsibilities (and opportunities) that affect those who are ordained. A book at once practical and prophetic, Pastoral Ethics is the standard for a new generation.

It is not a formal code of conduct, but a reflection by the Convocations on the words of the Ordinal, addressed to the clergy at the time of their ordination to the ministry of the Church. It draws on the wide experience of the clergy who belong to the General Synod, with contributions from the House of Bishops and the House of Laity. The Guidelines are offered as a means of sharing the fruits of accrued wisdom and experience with colleagues, especially those beginning a new life as ordained ministers, and with all engaged in the mission and ministry of the Church. This new edition takes account of significant developments since 2003, including the publication of a new Ordinal, the new Clergy Discipline Measure, new terms of service for the clergy via Common Tenure, and most recently the comprehensive work which is being undertaken throughout the Church with regard to Safeguarding.

Book Synopsis Ethics and Spiritual Care by : Karen Lebacqz
Download or read book Ethics and Spiritual Care written by Karen Lebacqz and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics and Spiritual Care responds to three phenomena of increasing importance: • Although spiritual care is at the heart of ordained ministry, there is no text in professional ethics for clergy that focuses specifically on spiritual care. What ethical guidelines are needed to ensure that spiritual care in ministry is appropriate? • Many people in our world do not consider themselves “religious,” but use the term “spiritual.” The burgeoning interest in “spirituality” is an invitation to people with little training to set themselves up as “spiritual directors.” Guidelines are needed not simply for the ethical practice of parish ministry, but for specific practices of spiritual direction. • Allegations of “spiritual abuse” have been made both in practice and in the literature; the term is being used with some frequency. The development of this term and its implications requires some scrutiny and response, as sexual abuse is not a good model for understanding spiritual abuse.

Book Synopsis Confidentiality and Clergy by : William W. Rankin
Download or read book Confidentiality and Clergy written by William W. Rankin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a wonderfully readable exposition into the thicket of clerical ethics beneath which lurks the constant potential of legal action in an evermore litigious society. Rankin leaves no doubt that there are no quick solutions, but he masterfully weaves a fabric of the ethical issues (often laces with agonizing contradiction), the evolution of applicable legal principles, and a practical methodology for coping with unsettling--and enraging litigation." --Ivan Weinberg, Esq., Partner, Weinberg, Campbell & Stone, Sausalito, California "Rankin's excellent book is a long overdue resource for clergy and lay professionals; a pastoral and prophetic account with wide appeal and deep insight into the ethics of professional ministry. Legal, ethical, and theological dimensions are addressed with sensibility and integrity." --Fredrica Harris Thompsett, Academic Dean and Professor of Church History, Episcopal Divinity School "A wonderful witness to why the Church's theology and ethics ought to reclaim the rich experience and real sagacity of its parish clergy. The issue is confidentiality, and the resources (or lack of them) for clergy who are confronted with whether to maintain or divulge it. Here is a scholarly and sensitive treatment of a much too-neglected, too-ignored, and ill-informed matter which is of enormous importance to clergy of all sorts." --Professor Harmon L. Smith, Divinity School, Duke University
Book Synopsis Church Ethics and Its Organizational Context by : Jean M. Bartunek
Download or read book Church Ethics and Its Organizational Context written by Jean M. Bartunek and published by Sheed & Ward. This book was released on 2005-11-03 with total page 223 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.

Book excerpt: At a time when concerns for misconduct, abuse scandals, and liability have brought pastoral ministers under greater scrutiny than ever before and have threatened to undermine their morale, Just Ministry offers a positive perspective on the vocation of pastoral ministry and wise ethical guidance to foster integrity in ministry.

It builds upon a theology of vocation, a covenantal model of ministry, and a vision of professional identity. Book jacket.
