Faithful Work in an Imperfect World
This class will discuss what it means to live and work faithfully in a far-from-perfect world. Drawing on Scripture, contemplative Christian writers, and wisdom from working inside large institutions, this three-session course offers a space to discuss tensions of working in government, nonprofits, and the private sector — compromise, complicity, burnout, and hope — and to explore practices that keep integrity and faith alive for the long haul. Open to anyone navigating faith and work, regardless of sector or vocation. When: Wednesday, November 18; Wednesday, December 2; and Tuesday, December 8 from 6:30-8:00 pm. Where: Baxter Hall, St. Mark’s. Facilitators: Mary Ellison and Susan Kyle. Sign up: mary.c.ellison[at]gmail.com or sfkyle[at]gmail.com.
