ON CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP & ETHICS
I was among the 18 students enrolled in the course Christian Leadership and Ethics. The first meeting was of course orientation. We then were asked to write the 10 commandments by memory. That was quite a surprise! !! Then the following meeting 3 students dropped, then 2 and only 13 of us were left.
We learned many practical basic stuffs. To mention some are Gandhi's 7 Deadly Sins:
a] Wealth without Work
b] Pleasure without Conscience
c] Knowledge without Character
d] Science without Humanity
e] Religion without Sacrifice
f] Business without Morality
g] Politics without Principle
And to combat the above mentioned SINS --- Covey suggests 7 very important virtues
a] Self-Awareness
b] Imagination and Conscience
c] Will-Power
d] An abundance of Life
e] Courage and Consideration
f] Creativity and
g] Self-Renewal
In our life's journey, we need to be self-aware that we are already going beyond the norm. The class didn't do much activities compared to other courses. However, we learned many things. The NEWSTART GIFTS acronym was emphasized.
Nutrition
Exercise
Water
Sunshine
Temperance
Air
Rest
Trust in God
Gratitude
Integrity
Family and friends
Training
Stewardship
The three types of theories were well emphasized: theory X, Y, by McGregor and Theory Z by Ouchi.
We meet every Thursday morning. We did have a term paper to accomplish. Glad to have done the Perils of Power in Christian Leadership. We met 18 hours in a semester and happy to have survived it.
