Morals and Ethics

Topic of the day!
What are morals? What is ethics?

Main highlight of the day
Discussion about how to handle charges who are 1 year younger. Jac, Roy and Mel role-played a scenario showing how difficult it could be to get younger ones to listen to you. Sometimes, we might have to do 'right' things that we don't like. For instance, having to go home early just to ensure that your charges are home on time, or having to call parents to check if their children are telling the truth about staying out late etc. Even though we might not like the idea of having to nag or counsel our charges, we have to remember that we are responsible for our charges and are ultimately accountable to parents; we must know where to draw the line between being their teacher and their friend.

Before breaking up into our prayer buddy groups, we had some final advice from father: as youth leaders, we must take care to maintain professional and platonic relationships with kids. We should not lead people on or give them the wrong idea.

Prayer bunnies
We did away with bible sharing and instead shared our thoughts on the following quote:
"Wise is he who understands the action in inaction, and the inaction in action."

Most groups came up with the idea that you don't necessarily have to take action in order to achieve something. Conversely, taking action might prove counter-productive.

To end it all off...
