What other global concerns can religion take on?

“People want to be religious, says scholar Karen Armstrong; we should help make religion a force for harmony. She asks the TED community to help build a Charter for Compassion — to restore the Golden Rule as the central global religious doctrine.” Want to learn more about the charter? Check it out here!

REVIEW OF BOOK
Keller, T., & Alsdorf, K. L. (2016). Every good endeavor: Connecting your work to God’s work.
New York, NY: Dutton

Religion is a topic often avoided in a work environment because it can be considered taboo by peers and can unfairly impact work relationships (Scheitle & Ecklund, 2017). However, biblical teachings can help find purpose in the workplace. Keller and Alsdorf discussed five specific topics that I found to be the most useful: the goodness of our work, human dignity, work as an act of love, thorns and thistles, and the power of deep rest (2016). The goodness of our work is best described as, “work is as much a basic human need as food, beauty, rest, friendship, prayer…” (Keller & Alsdorf, 2016, p.23). The second topic highlighted is human dignity. Holding onto human dignity in the workplace means, “… despite intellectual and moral errors, one never loses the dignity of being a person” (Sison, Ferrero, & Guitián, 2016, p. 508).The third topic is work as an act of love, emphasizes that work is an opportunity to unify humanity and it is through that desire and love for our society to keep functioning, work becomes an act of love (Keller & Alsdorf, 2016). The fourth topic of thorns and thistles means when one’s quality and effort of work results in something disappointing (Keller & Alsdorf, 2016). The last topic is the power of deep rest, meaning human beings need to reset and take time away from work to help evaluate work properly (Keller & Alsdorf, 2016).
