	A. Moral formation and moral community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The term "moral" has also been misheard as "moralistic", thus confusing our understanding of the ekklesia with such movements as Moral Rearmament or the "moral majority", or as representing the ethical character of the ekklesia as an individual or "ghetto" morality.
		At Tantur we explored how the language of "moral formation" and "discernment" can carry forward the discussion of the ethical nature of the church, and its implications for the life of the church in the world.
		Thus "moral formation" is not understood as an alternative to "moral community", but as one explication and development of this perspective on the reality of church.

	Simpson Miller and the charge to moral leadership - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Given that morality is a central underpinning of the Christian faith, Ms Simpson Miller would clearly have been on a right and secure track.
		For as Ms Simpson Miller well understands, morality is first an individual trait and each person, given his free will and an understanding of right and wrong and good and bad, has the opportunity to make choices about how to conduct his life.
		In fact, the same issues we posed to Mr Patterson, we believe, would apply to Ms Simpson Miller in promoting her vision of a morality that, as she put it, is concrete and based on everyday reality.

		Nowhere was this irony felt more keenly than in post–World War II Japan, as the nation struggled to remake itself during the Occupation period and the 1950s… and relied on its former enemy, the United States, to do so.

	Moral Re Armament What is it??by Basil entwqistle and John McCook Roots
		The beliefs of the Oxford Group and later MRA have a fundamental basis in Christianity as Buchman had experienced in his life.
		In this connection we feel bound to express our criticism of Moral Rearmament, in so far as this movement still claims to be specifically Christian at all (a claim no longer, apparently, stressed by MRA propaganda in countries, such as India, in which other world religions are dominant).
		Here, as with some evangelists, the basic fault is that the task of Christianity is conceived to be that of individual conversion ("changing"), without any adequate regard for the religious obligation of improving the social conditions in which the individual lives.
