Elders Response to FEBCAST

A Response to Code of Ethics for FEBCAST Pastors, Ministry Team, Leaders and Volunteers (August 2010)

By the Elders, Elk Point Baptist Church

The concept of an ethical code for pastors and Christian workers has merit. We believe in its value and have placed within our Church's Constitution statements in that regard. In the subject document most of the ethical issues such as morality and attention to family are accepted positions within the evangelical community. Those specific issues that relate to the pastor such as calling, study habits, plagiarism, etc. would also be normative in our community of believers. Our critique of the document is three-fold:

1. We are uncertain of its aim and objectives.

2. The target audience appears complicated; and

3. The apparent underlying philosophy is contradictory to Scripture.
