Keeping faith in your community project
Why do some Christian organisations lose their edge?
Does receiving secular funding always dilute spiritual purposes?
What can we do to integrate our faith in our work?
Are there churches that have kept the flame burning?
Hosted by Livability, this interactive and fun day is designed to help you reconnect your work to your deepest convictions and learn to integrate a down-to-earth theology into your frontline work.
Download the main powerpoint presentation from the event held
on 12 May 2010 at the Salvation Army International HQ.
We recommend the document 'Ensuring a level playing field: funding faith-based organisations to provide
publicly funded services' from the Department of Communities and Local Government which exposes some widely held myths.
You may also enjoy the Fast
Show sketch of two Christian policemen shown during the training day
which caricatures an inappropriate use of faith at
work.

The whole day was useful. I needed to reconnect
my work with my faith
and this day challenged me and gave practical ways to do so.
There was a great balance between practical
advice and thought-provoking discussion.
The day included practical ideas to help you and your team think theologically about your community work and lots of opportunities to share experiences with others in a similar position.
