Abstract
Abstract Diaconic Identity and the Culture of Care in the Context of Applied Ethics. How can Christian social service organisations avoid the identity trap of either understanding their work strictly as a human act of general humanity like any other or strictly as a work motivated by and only possible in a specifically Christian world view? Christian ethics as found in the writings of the apostle Paul is on the one hand exclusive in the sense that what Christians ought to do (imperative) is grounded in what they as Christians are (indicative). On the other hand it is inclusive in the way that the basic concepts of its methods of ethical reasoning are not specifically Christian. With its specific proto-ethical resources diaconic identity contributes to and participates in general ethical debates in secular civil society on ethical rules for the fields of professional care and a caring society.
