Workshop: Meaning in the Mundane

Description

Is it possible to find meaning and delight in the mundane tasks of work and home life? Can they serve any real good as we seek to love our neighbors? How might re-orienting our mundane work enable more faithful Christian living?

In this workshop, Dr. Harbin will help us to see how we can orient our mundane work toward its ultimate purpose and enact mundane work as faithful Christian living in particular places and times by walking us through the following:

• Living in a Divided World
• Seeing the World Christianly
• Seeking shalom from a particular place and time
• Reframing the mundane

This workshop includes interactive teaching in a small-group setting, followed by lunch together with continued discussion.
