This topic might arise out of an issue encountered as part of one’s profession or an issue facing a larger society.  Writing the paper:  Your paper will include:  1. A definition of the ethics of the issue;  2. How a belief in God informs the issue;  3. What does the Bible have to contribute to our understanding of the question;  4? How does Christ inform your approach to the topic;  5? What models of the church are most relevant;  6. What can and does the church do in this area?  Details: The student will research other outside documents and/or books to prepare a written report 1800 to 2400 words (six to eight pages) will be prepared from the materials citing at least four references from the documents located.  Typed in 12-pt font, double-spaced.
