Abstract
My thesis in this article is that Christian improvisation is a helpful way to understand the practice of Christian leadership ethics. We sometimes find ourselves in ethical situations with no clear script or guideline to prescribe actions. In such cases, the ethical practice is analogous to that of improvisation. I argue that Christian theology and practices can help form a character prepared for improvisation. Moreover, Christian theology can foster an imagination useful for improvisation as it helps us interpret the ethical situation in light of a greater story and creatively imagine new ways of responding.
