One of the more interesting of the articles that we have had on the Evangelical Portal, as a part of the Faith@Work <\/em>Consultation, was William Miller\u2019s first meditation<\/a> on trust and its significance in the workplace.\u00a0 He found his way to the heart of this scholar of philosophy and religion by posing a question through Socrates and finding an answer through Jesus, or specifically through Jesus\u2019 Sermon on the Mount.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Trust, of course, is a rare and valuable commodity, and without it the workplace dissolves into suspicion, dissension and turf wars.\u00a0 Trust also counts for much between companies; just as employee A will not consent to work with employee B unless there is a foundation of trust, company A requires trust in company B in order to form a true partnership.\u00a0 Read more with William Miller\u2019s second entry<\/a> in the series.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
