STRAND E – Morality and Justice
In the light of the Scriptures, the human person is understood to be created ‘in the image and likeness of God’ (Gen 1: 26) and called into a new existence through Christ (link to Jesus and Scripture). This call gives rise to the unique freedom, dignity, and responsibility of human beings. It requires a process of moral discernment that holds together our nature as humans
and the Christian vision of freedom and dignity in all areas of life: personal and relational integrity, economic and political participation, technological and ecological responsibility. Christians cooperate with all people to foster human flourishing, right relationship and the common good (link to God, Religion and Life). This content area grapples with the questions, ‘Who ought I be? How must I respond?’
"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.."
Luke 6:36
