Work & Personal Moral Convictions
Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2004 1:02 am
I recently came across an ethical issue during my work. From the general Christian perspective and based upon Scripture, acting upon homosexual feelings is wrong (not to mention the additional health risks associated with such a lifestyle). Therefore while I would talk with a homosexual as I would any other person, I can not support actions I consider to be damaging, or unacceptable to God. And for some additional reasons listed at http://www.family.org/cforum/extras/a0032427.cfm, I also disagree with a homosexual couple marrying or raising children.
Now I am to be possibly responsible for helping an organisation devoted to "minority" groups (such as indigenous, and those living a homosexual lifestyle including couples raising children) to setup an online journal, which I assume is to promote their work and beliefs. While good can come from some parts, I have strong reservations about helping propagate beliefs on homosexuality that I feel strongly against.
So, I'm wondering... what would other Christians here do given such a situation. Would you just reject the job without offering the reason why? Would you reject the job, and let them know why potentially damaging further work? Would you keep quiet and do the work thinking personal convictions should not come in the way of work considered morally acceptable to society?
