Ethics |
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." |
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." |
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." |
