Theological educators, seminary students, pastors, and denominational officials and staff will find in these pages substantive biblical and theological perspectives that help to frame specific approaches to moral deliberation and decision-making within congregations -- and through congregations for the sake of the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Ronald W.
