Biblical and Ethical Engagement for Social and Moral Imperatives

Dr. Sharon Ellis Davis

The weight of apathy and feelings of hopelessness surround and engulf many members of our faith community. People attend church and ask, "Is there a word from the Lord that speaks to what I am going through?" The social and moral imperative of pastors and leaders is to develop ministries of teaching, preaching, and pastoral practices that critically and ethically engage Biblical text and Theological Assumptions toward developing new paradigms in ministry that will address the social ills and moral dilemmas people are challenged with today.
