A quote to ponder on from Tony Jones’s book;
“The church that doesn’t challenge its members to face the core ethical issues that confront them everyday at work is the church that has abdicated its responsibility.”[1]
I would add to that:
The church that doesn’t help, assist and equip its members to face the core ethical issues that confront them everyday at work is the church that has abdicated it responsibility.
I’m finding quite a lot of the stuff in Jones’s book challenging (and frustrating in places), more of that later, but there is also a reassurance in a lot of what is being expounded, not least the above!
