- The Church is a Community of Christian believers.
- Christians expect the Church to give them guidance on the Christian life and making moral decisions is an important part of the Christian life

- It is the Voice Of God
- Church said Christians should follow their conscience
- Follow their conscience because the Church may be wrong
- Not use
- Can be wrong. e.g. Yorkshire Ripper
- if everyone followed their conscience rather than laws, life would be chaotic and no-one would know what behaviour to expect from each other.
- If Christians follow the teaching of the Church, then they know other Christians will think that what they do is right.

- 1.4 Situation Ethics
- would use
- They think it is wrong to ignore the consequence of your actions. You should do what will produce good results.
- Jesus seemed to follow situation ethics because he over-ruled what the Old Testament said when he thought it was an unloving thing to do.
- Not use
- A certain situation may go against the Church/ Bible teachings.
- They think that God would not have given laws in the Bible if they were not to be followed.
- They claim that you can never know all the facts and so don't know what the consequences might be.
- would use
- 1.1 The Bible
