Ethics And The Clergy

Abstract: 15 pages in length. Perhaps the most critical of all issues associated with the breach of any moral code is that of trust. When, for example, the pastoral post is occupied by one who asserts his vow of ethics and morality, it is expected that this pledge will be continually upheld throughout the entire term. If the congregation comes to learn that its religious leader has entered into unethical behavior, do they have reason to question his overall allegiance to the clergy? The answer is an unequivocal yes, for there is no separation between his private loyalty and his public loyalty; in the eyes of the public, any private betrayal equates to a collective deception. The writer discusses ethics as it relates to the clergy. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
