How the Christian faith works in the workplace

What do Christians believe about ghosts and spirits? Do the other gods people worship have any real power? What should I do about my family’s strong belief in ancestor worship? How do Christians deal with these issues? In many cultures gods, ghosts, spirits and ancestors are part of everyday life. In the West these things are rarely talked about, so international students may not always find answers to these kinds of questions in British churches. But the Bible does give answers and there are ways we can understand these things from a Christian perspective. This seminar will look at God’s position and power in the spiritual world, how the Bible views these different parts of the ‘unseen world’ and how we can live a Christian life which honours our family and traditions with freedom from fear.

Once our studies are over, the working world awaits us… So, if much of our lives are spent at work, how is it possible to be a follower of Jesus in the office, the bank, the lab or the school? We have to obey our managers, fulfil the job description, make money and show the company we are committed and hard-working. Do we therefore have to fit our faith into the few hours we have left over, or can we follow Jesus in ALL of our lives? This seminar will look at what it means to be a follower of Jesus, even when there are other people telling us what we need to do and what our values should be.
