Code of Ethics for Pastors

We lament the sexual abuse and abuse of power recently reported in the investigation commissioned by the Southern Baptist Convention. Instead of protection and prevention, there was gross negligence toward survivors. May God grant a spirit of repentance, humility and justice in the long process of restoration. As Christian leaders, we must pursue the highest standards of integrity that would represent Jesus well. A starting resource is the NAE Code of Ethics for Pastors. Every church leader should sign it and commit to live by it.

This video message from NAE leaders expresses our lament of such tragedies and our belief that the life of every Black person matters.

Indeed, the Bible reveals God’s calling and care for persons before they are born (Psalm 139:13). We have a collection of resources to help you support a culture of life.

Awaiting a Landmark Abortion Decision

An unprecedented leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson case signals the overturn of Roe v. Wade and federal abortion rights. In a court amicus brief, the NAE argued that the U.S. Constitution does not create a right to an abortion of an unborn child before viability or at any other stage of pregnancy. The NAE awaits the final decision and opinions that hold important implications for safeguarding the sanctity of life.
