• Church teaching on moral issues is based on Bible teaching; Christians
view the Bible as God’s word which is true for all time.
• It is important for the church to set standards and keep to them; this is
especially true in an age of secularisation and competing claims about
truth.
• Church teaching never goes out of date as it can allow for issues that
were not mentioned in the Bible, such as abortion and IVF.
On the other hand:
• The church needs to update its teaching in line with moral standards of
the twenty-fi rst century.
• Sacred texts written thousands of years ago can give general standards
about moral behaviour but are not always relevant today, e.g. laws
regarding food, hygiene and clothing.
• The church needs to be a positive force in society; it will not be taken
seriously if it does not show a willingness to change out of date views.
