AB In the vast collections of secondary literature related to Lesslie Newbigin's life, ministry, and thought, writers have reflected very little on his enduring passion for a missional approach to the modern secular workplace. This article examines the formative characters and experiences that shaped his groundbreaking thought on the theological nature of the laity's work. It focuses specifically on how his experience as a missionary in India equipped him with a unique contribution to the Western debate regarding workplace ministries. The article outlines the theological foundations of his approach and closes with an exploration of his radical ecclesial proposals for equipping the laity for Christ's work in modern vocations.
