Confucianism

Confucianism is a philosophical and ethical system based on the teachings of Confucius (551–479 BCE) that emphasizes moral virtue, social harmony, and proper conduct in personal and governmental relationships. Rather than focusing on worship of deities, Confucianism centers on principles such as filial piety, respect for elders, honesty, righteousness, and the cultivation of wisdom and character. Its goal is to create a well-ordered society through ethical behavior, education, and the fulfillment of social roles. Confucian thought has historically influenced Chinese culture, law, politics, and education, and continues to shape social values and community life in many East Asian societies today.

​

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

-Matthew 28:18-20
