God Goes to Work

When God Goes to the Office is one of these bizarre little articles that tries to summarize a huge social movement with a couple of anecdotes and experts. I know. I’ve written the same sort of pieces. The big issue that often comes up when employers and employees sing the praises of religion in the office is that often they are talking about One Religion (Christianity) and a particular brand of that religion (the conservative evangelical brand). That’s not really bringing religion to the office. That’s creating a workplace centered around one religion. Not so comfortable for many of us.

    It’s a tough tap dance that requires an individual spin.

    If I assume my audience thinks Quaker = Christian = good then well and good.

    If I assume my audience thinks Quaker = Christian = hypocrite, then I better think again.
