CHRISTIAN ETHICS TODAY
A Journal of Christian Ethics
“We need now to recover the prophethood of all believers, matching our zeal for the priesthood of all believers with a passion for the prophethood of all believers.”
—Foy Valentine, Founding Editor
MISSION
The Christian Ethics Today Foundation publishes Christian Ethics Today in order to provide laypersons, educators, and
ministers with a resource for understanding and responding in a faithful Christian manner to moral and ethical issues
that are of concern to contemporary Christians, to the church, and to society.
PURPOSES
• Maintain an independent prophetic voice for Christian social ethics
• Interpret and apply Christian experience, biblical truth, theological insights, historical understanding, and
current research to contemporary moral issues
• Support Christian ecumenism by seeking contributors and readers from various denominations and churches
• Work from the deep, broad center of the Christian church
• Address readers at the personal and emotional as well as the intellectual level by including in the Journal
narratives, poetry, and cartoons as well as essays
• Strengthen and support the cause of Christian ethics
Christian Ethics Today was born in the mind and heart of Foy Valentine in 1995, as an integral part of his dream
for a Center for Christian Ethics. In his words, the purpose of the Journal was “to inform, inspire, and unify a lively
company of individuals and organizations interested in working for personal morality and public righteousness.”
When the Center was transferred to Baylor University in June 2000, the disbanding Board voted to continue the
publication of Christian Ethics Today, appointing a new editor and a new Board. The Journal will continue to be
published bi-monthly.
From the beginning Christian Ethics Today has been sent without charge to anyone requesting it, “as money and
energy permit.” More than ever before, your financial support is “greatly needed, urgently solicited, and genuinely
appreciated.”
The Christian Ethics Today Foundation is a non-profit organization and has received a 501 (c) (3) status from the
Internal Revenue Service.
