Faith & Work Series

2009-2010 Faith & Work Breakfast Series presents

Sin at Work:
a contemporary look at vice and virtue in the workplace

“Who can say,’I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin’? ” ~Proverbs 20:9

This year, we are pleased to present the second of a two-year series exploring the ways that the Seven Deadly Sins are manifested in our work world today.

Most of us work at such a fast pace each day that it can be difficult to be attentive to our behavior. We move from situation to situation, sometimes reacting without thinking. That lack of attention can lead to a lack of intention in responding to the people and situations around us.

While sin has been largely individualistic over the centuries, in our contemporary culture, sin has a much larger social impact that also reaches into the work place.

As we think about the challenges of living authentic lives of faith, a central question is, “How can I live a virtuous life?” Our Faith and Work program does not chastise, but illuminates the darker challenges of our human nature and offers tools for reflection and action in moving from the temptation of vice to a faithful life of virtue.

Join us at St. Olaf for a continental breakfast, presentation and conversation from 7:00 – 8:30 am. Cost is $20 per person.
For more information and registration, contact Carol Bishop at 612-332-7471 ext. 255 or e-mail cbishop@SaintOlaf.org.
