An overview of the value and effect of an integration of Christian spirituality and ethics

The modern world is experiencing a spiritual and moral crisis. Associated with this,
Christian spirituality and ethics have become separated in the life of the individual
Christian and the community of the church. The Christian understanding of human beings
and the integrated nature of spirituality and ethics provides a solution to this crisis.
Christian spirituality and morality both originate in the character and purposes of God as
revealed in the biblical record. The value and effects of the. integral relationship between
spirituality and morality can be traced throughout scripture and the history of the church.
The. encounter and relationship with God, in Jesus Christ and through the presence and
power of God's Spirit, transforms the disciple of Christ, which means that spirituality is the
basic framework and motivation for morality. Integrated spiritual and moral formation
creates moral character and moral communities which enable believers to act with love
and justice. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th. (Specialisation in Christian Spirituality)
