| Summary: | This article describes a burgeoning movement of believers in business who have tired of “the Sunday-Monday gap” and seek to integrate faith and work. The Faith at Work movement is comprised of businesspeople, professionals, and workers of all types who are gathering in significant numbers outside the church to discuss questions of meaning, purpose, calling, ethics, character, spiritual identity, and expression in the workplace. Abandoned by the church and influenced by various historical, theological, and social factors, the movement is largely lay-founded and lay-led, appealing to liberals and conservatives alike. The article concludes with prescriptive proposals, offering a new language and framework to facilitate theological reflection, practical application, and constructive discourse about faith and work. |
