The Faith in Business Journal aims to:
- help readers discover a fuller sense of God's
purpose and hope in their working lives, integrating their faith,
their work and their worship
- highlight the necessity and value of wealth
creation within God's creative and redemptive purposes, while
bringing the processes of wealth creation under careful scrutiny
- encourage individuals to apply Christian values
in their work, and help them to resolve the moral dilemmas they
often face
- persuade the leaders of industry, commerce,
finance and public services to operate within the framework of
Christian principles and values.
- assist church leaders in understanding key
issues in the changing economic environment, so that where
challenge is called for it is based on an informed and up-to-date
appraisal
- urge the churches to support people in their
daily work and to declare the value of all honest work in
generating wealth for the common good.
