The event aims to delve into how the Scriptures shed light on our understanding of work and how reflecting on work can deepen our understanding of the Scriptures. By examining some of the challenges workers face in our contemporary economies, participants will be encouraged to consider how their faith can inform and influence their work lives. This event provides a valuable opportunity for participants to contemplate how the faith they celebrate on Sundays can be put to work in their everyday lives. The forum also opens the first day of a full unit dedicated to exploring this topic further.

The forum is scheduled for Saturday, August 12, from 9-11 am. Morling warmly welcomes individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, recognising that integrating faith with work is a concern that transcends specific occupations. Whether you are a teacher, healthcare professional, engineer, or artist, this event offers a safe space to explore the practical implications of faith in the context of your distinctive work environment.

Participants will have an invaluable opportunity to learn, discuss, and engage with like-minded individuals on this journey of integrating faith and work. The event provides a platform for fruitful conversations and exchange of ideas that can inspire transformative changes in the workplace.

For those interested in delving deeper into the topic beyond this event, forum participants will have the option to continue their exploration by auditing the unit for personal enrichment (as a casual student) or enrolling for credit, which can be used towards an award in the future. The whole unit, Putting Faith to Work, involves two full-day seminars and several online modules. Morling recognises the significance of this topic and has developed the Faith Applied Stream – a comprehensive program dedicated to equipping individuals to navigate the complexities of integrating their Christian faith with their work. The College is also committed to partnering with Christian institutions, offering discounted rates to encourage companies to invest in equipping their staff with the necessary tools for effectively integrating faith and work.

If you are eager to explore how your faith can be integrated into your work life and contribute to a deeper sense of purpose, this upcoming event offers a valuable starting point. Reserve your spot and join fellow participants in this enlightening conversation that aims to bridge the gap between faith and work.
