The Center for Christian Ethics
The Center for Christian Ethics was planned in 1988, named in 1989, chartered as
a non-profit corporation with the office of the Texas Secretary of State on
June 14, 1990, and granted 501(c) (3) standing by the Internal Revenue Service
on June 17, 1991.
The primary objectives of
the Center are important and attainable.
- Clarify communicate, cultivate, and
champion those basic ethical values without which neither the churches nor
civilization itself could survive: wisdom, courage,
temperance, justice, righteousness, peace, fuith, hope, love, and freedom.
- Affect public policy issues which currently
have an important but neglected ethics dimension.
- Produce
a Christian ethics publication to help those in a position to work for personal
and public morality.
- Sponsor
leadership symposiums and colloquiurns in order to build a camaraderie among
leaders of like mind and heart who will in turn develop ethical initiatives in
support of personal and pubic morality in the churches and in society at
large.
- Foster
the preparation and distribution of substantive Christian ethics materials not
being produced by others.
- Service by personal consultation and by
development of innovative utilization of modern technologies those ethics
offices, agencies, and centers, both in the Untied States and internationally,
where such support services are needed and wanted.
The Center for Christian
Ethics is a serious step in the direction of stopping toda/s moral drift and
of supporting improvement in the ethical environment of our churches, our
society, our nation, and our world. The Center for Christian Ethics cannot do
everything that is needed; but it can do something important.
The Trustees of the Center
for Christian Ethics believe the Center is in a position to be a unique and
able supporter of the cause of Christian social ethics.
