The role of the Church Christianity is explained here Arrange to speak to the priest privately and he will give advice to Christians. Go to confession=help confront problems & make resolutions. Groups that support each other=discuss & learn from others experiences. Churches make formal statements about moral issues & explain their view. | Situation Ethics Joseph Fletcher put forward the idea of no matter what the Bible or Church says you must do the most loving thing, as this is what Jesus taught us.
