Bridges are an important part of transportation. They help us get from one place to another over seemingly impassable chasms. You may wonder why I have not just included a list of do’s and don’ts to help in your travels. Well, if you can be aware of the deeper elements of culture and the process through which you will
pass, you are better able to think through some very complicated issues of “Cross-Cultural Adjustment.”
Bioethics is one of the sensitive areas which invites people to seek out the fundamentals of faith, of anthropology and morality. The role of Christians is irreplaceable in forming an ethical social conscience and civil principles, by means of serious but respectful dialogue. This new cultural situation calls for a thorough preparation in bioethics, both for church leaders and for those lay men and women who are working in this crucial area.
"We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too. Don’t you remember, dear brothers and sisters, how hard we worked among you? Night and day we toiled to earn a living so that we would not be a burden to any of you as we preached God’s Good News to you. You yourselves are our witnesses—and so is God—that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers. And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory." - 1 Thessalonians 2:8-12
