St James Ethics Centre
Description
St James Ethics Centre is a fully independent, not-for-profit organisation which provides a non-judgemental forum for the promotion and exploration of ethics.The Centre's mission is to encourage and assist individuals and organisations to include the ethical dimension in their daily lives, and thereby help to create a better world.
As befits a responsive organisation, the Ethics Centre is continually evolving. However, underlying its creative and open-ended framework is a considered and consistent approach. This approach is founded on the application of a few core principles.
These principles are that the Ethics Centre will...
• be a genuinely independent organisation open to people of any (and all) philosophical or cultural traditions, whether religious or secular in nature
• act with courage, compassion and integrity
• offer practical assistance of the highest quality
• be an integral part of the community and not something removed from the ebb and flow of daily life
• base its activities on a sound theoretical foundation - translated into terms which are accessible to all
• not seek to impose its views on those with whom it works
St James Ethics Centre uses this approach to provide a secure space for individuals and organisations to explore ethical reflection and decision-making.
