Each month we shall discuss an issue related to our faith and the work we do.

“If we are to meet the needs of society, and move from maintenance to mission, we need to focus less on the structures of the church...to recognise, equip and authorise greater varieties of ministry in the church. Secular ministers, lay and ordained, are called to their tasks through the experience of living the Christian life in the secular sphere.”
The Rt. Rev. Colin Bennetts
As employees and employers in a workplace, or in any other occupation, the work we do, the situations we are in, the people amongst whom we work and for whom we labour all matter to God. They are the raw materials of our ministry and our part in God’s kingdom and creation.
