Theology of Work Project
“The public impact of our work should be a gift of love.” – Clint LeBruyns, Theology of Work Project Steering Committee member
This week, the Theology of Work Project is holding its 15th Working Sessions Meeting. We’re pleased to be hosted by Opus, Wheaton College’s new institute for vocation, in conjunction with its launch.
The TOW Project’s meeting gathers pastors, professors, theologians and workplace Christians to review papers on work-related topics. Participants this year have come from the United States, India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Papers explore:
- What Philemon Tells Us About Leadership
- How to Handle a “Bad Boss”
- How Do I Love My Competitors?
- Relationships at Work
- The Promise and Peril of Political Appointments
- Compassion in Management
- Pay
- Volunteering
Through a process of rigorous discussion, authors work with other attendees to refine their papers. Their aim is to bring deep theological and biblical reflection to bear on contemporary work issues.
The reason for our work this week was perhaps best stated by Katherine Leary Alsdorf, TOW board member and founder of Redeemer’s Center for Faith and Work: “The gospel changes everything.”
With that in mind, it’s our prayer that our work this week will serve you, our readers, and equip you to participate in Jesus’ work of redemption in the world.
