| Résumé : |
Imagine the scenarios:
- A CEO successfully negotiates a corporate merger, avoiding hundreds of layoffs in the process - An artist completes a mosaic for public display at a bank, showcasing neighborhood heroes - A contractor creates a work-release program in cooperation with a local prison, growing the business and seeing countless former inmates turn their lives around - A high-school principal graduates 20 percent more students than the previous year, and the school's average scores go up by a similar percentage Now imagine a parade in the streets, praising God for each event. That’s the vision of Proverbs 11:10, in which the tsaddiqim—the people who see everything they have as gifts from God to be stewarded for his purposes—pursue their vocation with an eye to the greater good. Amy Sherman, director of the Center on Faith in Communities and scholar of vocational stewardship, explores how cultural trends related to our professional lives threaten to disintegrate our faith and our work, and how the church, in ways large and small, has itself contributed to the erosion of our sense of vocation. When the church keeps a kingdom calling in view, however, the people of God steward their faith and work toward righteousness. In so doing, they bless the world, and as they flourish, the world celebrates. |
