Ethics

Graham Hitchins
Justice Hedley
Ruth Valerio
The forces chaplain:
"You reflect on these things and come to a sense of knowing what is right from inside, based on your faith, based on the information you've had, from Scripture, from experience and tradition."
The high court judge:
The Christian will have standards understood from the Bible, affected by their own consciences ... we will expect of ourselves more than the law expects of others."
The environmentalist:
"As we develop character– such things as courage, wisdom, love, honesty, forgiveness ... If we are in a situation where it's a bit of a grey area, often then it's our character that helps us to determine the way to go."
David Day
Liberte Harries
Fr. Michael Clothier
The rehab centre manager:
"Whether or not we believe in God ... there is something inbuilt inside us – a conscience."
The prison chaplain:
"Biblically, we are all free to do exactly what we like – that's called free will. What we are not free to do is to choose the consequences of our actions."
The Catholic Priest:
"Being created in God's image means that humanity has a noble and beautiful calling ... God is entrusting us with all the created order. We see ourselves as responsible."
Andy Reed
John Spicer
Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali
The M.P.:
"What would Jesus do? Jesus is a fantastic role model!"
The marine zoologist:
"Using religious faith as a power tool - to stop people doing this, or make them do that - that really, really winds me up!"
The Anglican Bishop:
"It goes against common
sense when we do what we know will damage or even destroy us."
