Title
Faith at Work (NZ): Resourcing Christians to connect faith and work
Description
About Faith at Work (NZ)
Faith at Work is a training and research programme developed in partnership with the Christchurch branch of the Bible College of New Zealand (BCNZ).
Faith at Work is an attempt to enrich the sense of connection between God's work and our work. It has developed out of research work exploring the Christian concept of vocation, the theology of work and contemporary approaches for equipping and supporting Christians for life in their places of work. Alistair Mackenzie began this work in 1993.
In 1996 a group of Christian business people provided funding for Alistair to "...conduct a survey to determine the issues facing Christians in their daily work that could be addressed...". Subsequent funding led to the development of a number of courses offered through the Bible College of New Zealand in 1997 including, God's Work and our Work, Career and Life Planning, Ethics for the Marketplace and Everyday Spirituality. These courses were rewritten and presented as five shorter courses in 1998. Faith at Work also offers seminars and consultancy with churches and other organisations.
