Arbitrage: Lying for the Greater Good

Theme: 
Truth

Rev. Silvio Nardoni
Worship Associate: 
Rob Briner

This recent film starring Richard Gere raises ethical and spiritual issues about truth-telling, and its shadow side, lying.  Our Statement of Principles encourages a “search for truth,” but are there times when telling a lie does serve the greater good?  And even if that is true, does that justify lying?  A recent book on dishonesty talks about “moral flexibility,” so this sermon will explore just how limber can we become and still maintain integrity.
