TRS 735A Pastoral Ethics
This seminar offers students the opportunity to reflect on their ministerial experience in conversation with ethical resources from both the theological and secular world. These resources include foundational ideas in Christian ethics, including Catholic moral theology, as well as classic Western philosophical theories. They also include concrete case studies and the contemporary discussion of professional ethics considered in relation to ministerial practice. In the process, we will examine the often complex issues that arise during the practical tasks of Christian love.
