Character Formation
Liturgy and Art of Ethics
The Stead Center and the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary worship team, guided by the creative liturgical leadership of Dean Karen Mosby, worked together to prepare an Art of Ethics service for and with the seminary community.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Jesus paired these two—peacemakers and Children of God—because children have a way of reminding adults that moral formation is an active, creative process, not simply a list of unchanging rules. Peacemaking takes creativity, collaboration, and compromise; three things children are doing all the time. We explain it this way in the Art of Ethics project at the Stead Center.
