Ethical Knowledge: The Good Book Confronts A Changing World

The ethical knowledge of how the Good Book confronts the changing world facilitates knowledge processes, supports purposive moral action, and possesses ethical dissent. Ethicality, fair behavior, and trust are the essence of the knowledge culture of an organization, the church inclusive. The success of ethical knowledge in a religious setting which has observed the ever-increasing confrontation of the changing world by the Holy Writ may to a large extent depend on knowledge management initiatives and its features, but its sustainability depends on following adequate ethical practices. The churches managed by leaders who value ethical principles and have ethical orientations create an opportunity for congregants and other stakeholders to contribute to knowledge creation and knowledge acquisition. An ecclesiastical ethical leadership also creates trust, fairness, and transparency which encourages knowledge sharing and transfer. The church’s top management led by an ethical leader plays a pivotal role in knowledge creation by encouraging all parties involved to contribute to knowledge creation. Consequently, this paper seeks to integrate ethical knowledge and the non-changeability of the Good Book in a world-changing on a fast lane through an assessment of teleological and deontological ethical views.
