One reason for our series is the range of occupations where people ask questions like yours. A lot of our audience members come to us seeking answers to specific concerns and even ask similar questions of the different speakers from week to week. All jobs are valuable within our society, though some are more visible than others. What we uncover in our discussions are simple but non-obvious ways in which our work gives meaning to others. The TGIF series invites people of all walks of faith to participate - as both audience members and speakers.
Daily work is a great opportunity to do that.
Yes, the series is in a church, but Grace is a church that prides itself on being for the neighborhood. We have several ministries on our grounds that are nondenominational or, better still, supported by a range of religious traditions. Preaching in a work environment is usually, and understandably, counter-productive. Clearly, for Sen. Lieberman, his faith makes a significant difference to his ethical positions. Sen. Lieberman himself said it wasn't freedom from, but of, religion that the Constitution guaranteed.
