What would they use to make a decision and why?

A christian would make moral decisions using these different methods;

The Bible. To read Gods word, or for helpful information

The community that they belong to. To see what others think, opinions, thoughts, beliefs.

The Church. If the church has opposing views or opinions that differ, making you rethink or find another way

The Priest. To speak to someone who knows what Gods opinions and thoughts are.

Their families. Do the people around them have a helpful view or points they are unaware of.

Themselves. Does their conscience agree?.

Ecumenism- the idea that all christian denomination should be united together as one and forget their differences.
Denomination- different religious group who follows christian.

Christian agrees with ecumenism because Christian believe that denomination should come together to form only one christian group. There are evidence to prove this, for example, in the bible it says,
"You are all one in Christ"
Galatians 3
"I ask.. for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one"      John 17
Therefore christian should work together as one religion

Inter Faith-  between faith.

Christians believe that people from different religion should come together to form a real friendship that moves them to be peace-maker in the world because people are made be God, and are equally valuable.

What do Christians believe about the status and role of women in the family?

The women role was seen as a slave to the man as the man was seen better than the woman in many ways, the man was the bread winner and head of the household.

"...Wives should submit to their Husbands in everything..." -Ephesians, 5-22-24

this Bible verse shows that the christians believe that men are better because the husband is head of the household as christ is the head of the church.

women should:
-Run the home
-raise the children
-obey thier husbands

Men should:
-be in charge
-provide for thier family
-love thier wives

these are what christians believe the roles are of the men and women.

St Paul explains his view that a man should have be the leader in a marriage,  and have authority over the woman, who should serve him. This does not mean  he can bully her, or expect her to do all the work - he must respect her, and  treat her with love just as Christ loves the church. She should do as he says,  and see him as authority.

Other Christians believe that these views are too old-fashioned for the modern  world.

The Bible was written long ago when society was very different. Men and women  should have equal opportunities at home and at work; a couple should share  care for the children and housework, and they should both be able to go out  to work if they want. If there is a disagreement, it does not always have to  be the man who has the final say. Many women no longer promise to obey their  husbands as part of their marriage vows. They argue that the bible teaches  that everyone is made:

“in the image of God.”

Genesis 1:27

“There is neither Jew nor Greek,    slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

St. Paul, Galatians 2:28

Paul says Christians should not look at differences        between people, but should recognise they are all united. It suggests Christians        should consider each  other as equals, e.g. at home and work.

What do different Christians believe about women priests? For and against

For Women Priests;

a women can discuss issues with other women that would most likely be seen inappropriate if discussed with a male.
Women are seen as more understanding.

Against;

People believe that women should remain silent and follow the male in all aspects, church and in home included.

for example;

"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. "

Corinthians 14:34-35

1)What do these words mean?
2)Why causes someone to be them?
3)What are the consequences of them?
4)What would a Christian think about them?

1) - prejudice- a belief or thought about a group of people based on stereotypes
stereotype - a fixed idea about a particular type of people which is not always true
discrimination - actions based on prejudice thoughts; acting out a prejudice; putting your prejudice into action.

2) the things that cause people to do these acts includes the media, rumors, magazines, family, society, influence from friends etc.
an example of prejudice is "hating someone because of how they look"
an example of stereotype is that "blonde people are stupid" - which is not true
and an example of discrimination is not letting a girl do a man job because of a stereotype that girls are not strong. so basically treating them differently because of a prejudice/discrimination.

3) consequences of someone being prejudice/stereotypical/discrimintion:
- society will be depressed
- people will not get out their houses as much
- they will be insecure themselves, because they might feel as if that others are judging them just as he/she is judging others
- mis trust
-violence
-depression

4)' we are all one in christ' 'we are made in god's image' these show that christians believe in equality adn that stereotes, prejudice adn dicrimination is totally wrong and that people should avoid it

What is Racism?
Racism  is when someone is treated differently or unfairly just because of their race or culture.
What do Christians believe about racism?
Christians generally believe that racism is wrong, because it goes against Christian principles of equality and love. Racism does not fit in whith the Christian principle of love, because it involves treating people badly and not showing them love and respect. Racism is a form of inequality, so all of the Christian beliefs in the previous sections about equality can be applied to racism.

Case Studies

Stephan lawrence was a black britsh who was murdered beacuse of the colour of his skin.

Anthony walker was a black british who was murderd by a ice axe

Bible  Quotes:

"The is neither Jew nor Greek,slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."

Stephen Lawrence video:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But for Doreen and Neville Lawrence it was a bittersweet moment. The couple - who have separated since their son's killing - welcomed at least a partial victory in their quest for justice. But Mrs Lawrence, in particular, hit out at the 'miserable failures' of the police in their bid to prosecute his killers.

And Mr Lawrence also appealed for the other members of the gang to now face court as well, calling on Dobson and Norris to name those responsible. Police still believe three other men - Neil Acourt, Jamie Acourt and Luke Knight - were involved in the attack.

"How can I celebrate?" Mrs Larence asked afterwards. "How can I celebrate when my son lies buried, when I cannot see him or speak to him? When I will not see him grow up or go to university, or get married or have children. These verdicts will not bring my son back."

She said that "this day could have come 18 years ago" if the police "who were meant to find my son's killers" had not "failed so miserably".

"If the police had done their job properly in would have spent the last 18 years grieving for my son rather than fighting to get his killers to court," she added.

Neville Lawrence, in a statement via his solicitor, said: "My life was torn apart by the senseless murder of my son over 18 years ago. Unfortunately no one was brought before a court at that time, as they should have been.

"The loss itself, together with the lack of justice have meant that I have not been able to rest all this time. I am therefore full of joy and relief that today, finally, two of my son's killers have been convicted for his murder."

But, he added: "I don't think I will be able to rest until they are all brought to justice.

"I'm praying that these people now realise that they've been found out and say to themselves, 'yes I did this awful deed, but I wasn't alone in that action that night and there are other people also guilty of what I've done' and name them. I hope before the sentence is passed, they will talk and give the rest of these people that killed my son up...."

Dobson and Norris will be sentenced on Wednesday. But they face the prospect of a dramatically reduced jail term because they will be sentenced as juveniles due to their age at the time of the attack.

Dobson was 17 in 1993 while Norris was 16. It means they face a minimum tarrif of 12 years rather than the 25 years an adult would face for a knife murder.

Until the convictions, Stephen Lawrence's murder was the country's most notorious unsolved killing.

The initial investigation into his death was riddled with errors, forcing attempts at prosecution to collapse. Stephen's family mounted a private prosecution in 1994, but that too was abandoned two years later.

The inquest into Stephen's death found that he had been murdered in a "completely unprovoked racist attack by five white youths" as he waited at a bus stop with his friend Duwayne Brooks.

The furore over the failure to solve the case led to a public inquiry. In 1999 the Macpherson report labelled the Metropolitan Police "institutionally racist".

Despite the Lawrence family's relentless campaigning, it appeared at various points over the past 18 years that no-one would ever be convicted of the murder, especially when in 1996 Dobson, Neil Acourt and Luke Knight were acquitted at the private prosecution.

The law at that time meant they could never be charged again.

But in 2005 a chink of light emerged when the double jeopardy rule was abolished, meaning the men could be re-tried.

In 2006, following DNA advancements, the police began to look again at the forensic exhibits in the case, leading to new charges being brought against Dobson and Norris. A tiny drop of Stephen's blood was found on a jacket belonging to Dobson. Two strands of his hair were found on jeans belonging to Norris.

The defence argued that the forensic evidence had been contaminated over the years since police first examined them. But the jury - who had been shown a surveillance video of the men bragging about commiting violence against 'blacks' and 'Pakis' - were not convinced by this argument and found both men guilty.

They did so despite not being told about the criminal past of the two men. Members of a violent gang in their youth, they were linked to a number of attacks in the early 1990s.

Dobson is currently in prison for drugs offences, while Norris has a previous conviction for racism.

Mrs Lawrence gave the briefest of smiles as the foreman delivered the verdict, before starting to cry. Mr Lawrence wiped a tear from his eye.

The dignity of Stephen's parents was in stark contrast to the outburst of Dobson and his family upon hearing the verdicts.

As Dobson was taken down he looked at the jury and told them: "You have just condemned an innocent man. I hope you can live with yourselves."

His mother, Pauline, shouted from the public gallery: "He is innocent. He did not kill that man."

After the verdict the Metropolitan Police paid tribute to the Lawrence family's campaigning. But Cressida Dick, the force's acting deputy commissioner, admitted it was "a matter of huge regret to the Met that it has taken 18 years to get to this point."

Mr Brooks, Stephen's friend who was with him on the night of the murder, said that the verdicts brought some closure, but added: "It can't be full closure because all the suspects are not found guilty.

"But I'm happy we have a guilty verdict. I hope, more than ever, this inspires the investigating team to work harder to bring the rest of the suspects before a jury."

How would a Christian be affected by their beliefs about racism?

# data[].attributes.body
Racism- When you judge someone who has different skin color or their culture.

Christian might be against racism because christian beliefs that
everyone should be treated equally.

Evidence?
"From one human being he created all race on earth and made them live throughout the whole earth." Act 17:26
"So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slave and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with christ Jesus" Galatians 3:28

Why would they stand up for racism?

Christinans response to racism by being a rolemodel, they do this by encouring people to share their thoughts to other about not being racist and treating others races equally. Christians tell people that racism is wrong by reading bible verses and while praying.

Why would they do those things?

They would do this because God in the bible says, "love thy neighbour" therefore God disagrees with unequality. God made all of us in his image
It also says "there is neither Jew nor Greek,slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Therefore no matter what race, sex we are all equal on eyes of God, Jesus died for all of us not just Christians

Equality is the state of being equal or being treated equally as well as treating others equally. People belive that everyone should be treated equally. Other people argue that since everyone is different, it is important and unnatural to give everyone complete equality. The bible quote for this is "A new command I give you: Love one another. As i have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34) The Bible teaches that everyone is of equal value, and being different does not ever mean being better or worse than other people. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). In the bible it says"so God created human being, making them be like himself. He created them male and female". This shows that every one is made in the image of God.
Christians believe it is important for people to love one another and treat each other well. The Bible treats the importance of love, and it is emphasized through the example of how Jesus treated others, as well as his teachings. For example, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another . Christians believe that all humans were made in God's image. They believe thatGod gave humans a special status in life, and that every human is sacred and should be treated accordingly.
