The Theology of Work and the Dignity of
Workers
The Dignity of Workers seems to be a self-evident
tenet of everyday life. Still, today, wage and hour claims
proliferate. The minimum wage is insufficient and the living wage
initiative has had a fitful contemporary history. Even those
fortunate enough to earn decent wages are working beyond
exhaustion, holding down two or three jobs in a chronic state of
sleep deprivation. This conference will bring together prominent
leaders across a range of disciplines to explore timeless and
timely issues surrounding The Theology of Work and the Dignity of
Workers.
