What is the middle way?Show answer
His middle way: keep one principle, agape (selfless, unconditional Christian love of the neighbour), and in each situation do the most loving thing. Agape is the sole absolute; all other rules are guidelines ("sophia", the accumulated wisdom of the community) that bend whenever love requires. It is teleological: the right act is the one with the most loving outcome.
