Work & Spirituality

Biblical wisdom speaks of humanity created in the image of God. Our work creates both hope and heartache, wealth and wilderness.

“Our work creates both hope and heartache, wealth and wilderness”

Sharing experiences at work rapidly takes us below the surface of daily life. People are saying:

  • Work consumes the major time of life
  • As our wealth increases our mental health and contentment seems to be eroded
  • Success breeds the question ‘Is this all there is?’
  • The struggle at work drains our life of joy and meaning

Biblical wisdom speaks of humanity created in the image of God. Our work creates both hope and heartache, wealth and wilderness. Our stories of daily work can raise us to god-like creativity, but also crush us in despair. The Saint Stephens Work and Spirit Programme is designed to open up current work-place life, with insights from biblical wisdom and spirituality.

The programme in 2008 sets out two levels of engagement. First, a series of presentations from influential thinkers, leaders and researchers. Secondly, a series of workshops providing opportunities to deepen our grasp and sharpen our focus on practice.

‘Work and Spirit’ interweaves with two other programmes ‘Art and Spirituality’ and ‘Creation and Spirituality’ each of which aims to engage with contemporary culture and to discern and develop a distinctive Christian contribution to public and personal life.
