Inspiring Christians to Transform
the Workplace and the Nation...

19 March 2010

Dear {recipient.first_name},
Culture Changers

I have just been reminded of the influence of The Clapham Sect and William Wilberforce. The abolition of slavery was part of a huge social reform movement which changed our culture. The lives of these godly men and women have lessons for us, even today! The more that workplace Christians connect with one another, the more impact they can have in the places they work. Make no mistake, God-inspired, passionate and active Christian groups can transform their workplaces and there is increasing evidence for this. Let us dare to think of a UK-wide network of vibrant Christian workplace groups – they could change the culture of the workplace in this nation – perhaps even the nation itself.

Guidelines on running Christian Education Courses and events in the Workplace

1. Decide what course you want to run and have a clear vision as to why you want to run it. If you are formally recognised by your organisation as a staff support network, ensure the chosen course is in line with your aims. 2.

Pray, pray and pray again before, during and after the course – let God lead you and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit. To see the events guidance document click here.

“Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honour, nor for the death of your enemies, but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given to you. And I will also give you riches and honour such as no king before you ever had.”

(God’s word to Solomon
at the dedication of the Jerusalem Temple, 2 Chr 1.11-12)
