Transforming Workplace Mission: Engaging a Shifting Work Ethos

Presented by SRC (ADoM) and Ethos (EA)

• 8.30am Open for Registration
• 9am to 5pm Plenary Sessions & Workshops

Lunch Provided; Childcare Available at Conference

Many of us have an inkling that our daily labours fall short of God’s purposes for us. It’s time that God’s people grapple with how we shape, enable and support everyday Christians to faithfully reflect God’s work in their daily challenges and joys in shifting work cultures. This conference invites you – lay and clergy – to bring your stories and struggles for this purpose. Collaborating in keynotes, workshops and panel discussions, we will start to strategise ways for making ‘the Word of God fully known’ through our daily work.
