Let's Talk About: Ethics

You would think everyone is ethical.  Unfortunately, that is not the case. Unethical people are found in every walk of life, no matter age, race, gender, or religion. And to complicate matters, we all determine if a person is ethical based on our own expectations and life experiences.   The variables we use and associate with our internal standards are wide and vast, but there is one sentiment that is most likely consistent. We place higher ethical standards an businesses and professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and pastors.

The level of ethics you possess is displayed in what you say and do. People expect and need to know how ethical you are before they engage in services, recreation and relationship with your organization.. Your company or ministry should have a document that supports the expectation of ethical behavior or professional conduct. Does your church have a code of ethics? Have you read it, or does it need to be updated? Now is a wonderful time to review your church policies on ethics.
