Abstract

This article should be read as a review article in which the forms and causes of a number of moral problems in South Africa are discussed. The purpose of this article is to provide churches with a clear definition of the forms and causes of the moral issues in modern South African society. This article also attempts to offer some assistance in this regard. The argument is approached from a Christian ethical paradigm. In the article it is acknowledged that there are conflicting opinions within the broader Christian paradigm about matters such as what is to be seen as sexual morality. One of the duties of the church is that of moral development; to achieve this, churches have to develop a thorough understanding of moral problems.
