“How can Christians authentically address ethical issues today?”
Mobile phones. Email. Social Media. Zoom.
Communication has never been more accessible or abundant. But never has public discourse seemed more divisive or polarised.
How can Christians remain true to the rich heritage of their tradition while offering a constructive voice into some of the most pressing and antagonistic ethical issues of our time?
The answer may have less to do with the ethical positions Christians take than in the habits of discourse that they practise. Such an approach isn’t to render Christian ethics relative but to discover that the source of Christian speech shapes not only its content but also its contours.
