Ministerial Ethics provides both new and experienced pastors with tools for sharpening their personal and professional decision making skills. The authors seek to explain the unique moral role of the minister and the ethical responsibilities of the vocation and to provide "a clear statement of the ethical obligations contemporary clergy should assume in their personal and professional lives." Trull and Carter deal with such areas as family life, confidentiality, truth telling, political involvement, working with committees, and relating to other church staff members. First published in 1993, this edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and contains expanded sections on theological foundations, the role of character, confidentiality, and the timely topic of clergy sexual abuse. Appendices describing various denominational ministerial codes of ethics are included.

The authors believe the renewal of interest in ministerial ethiics has been caused by the rapid changes in our society and the number of moral failures in the ministry in recent years. They address the unique moral role of ministers and provide new and established ministers with clear definitions of their moral obligations.
