 Propriety

Propriety

The quality or state

of being proper

We show Christ’s ownership

of our lives and of the Church

by acting with propriety.

Standards are more about propriety than they

are about rules.

"The hardest job kids face today is learning propriety without seeing any."

Propriety is where the heart of respect and the educated mind meet.

Regard for another's integrity.

Regard for another’s ownership.

Regard for another’s well-being.

Willing to set self-interest aside - humility.

Propriety will always be extended to that which we love.

The more value something has, the greater propriety it demands.

Specific instruction on good manners.

Specific understanding of benefits & consequences.

Specific example of proper behavior.

Consistent practice of proper manners.

Practice makes propriety a reflex rather than an effort.
"Charity...Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;"

1 Cor 13:5

 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

1 Cor 6:20
