Darren Rowse writing on Workplace Sprituality for Spero News

Spero News for this week includes an article on Spirited entrepreneurship. Here is an extract:
"More and more I'm noticing that businesses are taking on the role of providing avenues for social concern and welfare that previously would have fallen back upon the church and government. I suspect this will happen increasingly in future.

The power business wields on our society is sometimes labeled an evil and often rightly so. But rather than protesting from the fringes could another way forward be for Christians to influence from within?
Maybe a twin approach is needed.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but most business people that I've met don't want to be manipulative, they actually do care for the society they live in, they do want to make a difference. They often just need to be encouraged to do so and see ways of ethical, life giving business to be modeled for them."

Please give Darren a visit - and add your comments. Traditional spirituality has a much to say to us about our inner lives - but not much about what happens when we go into the world amongst Christ's sisters and brothers
