In our work with young adult and campus ministry groups around the continent, one of our major roles is the development of young adult leaders. Leadership is vital to any community; in a religious community, we believe that leadership comes with a responsibility to understand the ethical use of power. The development of a Code of Ethics was meant to help leaders do just that. It is not a covenant, which, by definition would need to be open for revision and re-interpretation by all who enter into it. Rather, it is a Code, meant to outline and clarify the ethical obligations of peer leaders in our movement.
