#166 – Work, vocation, profession, and the heart of God 🗓
The ‘world of work’ is changing. Covid-19 and work from home, the post covid economic challenges, the Ukraine war and the uncertainty of the future in a divided world has brought the discussion on the purpose of work to the forefront. AI and related developments will affect the way work is perceived in the near future.
Though healthcare can be protected from major disruptions, some of the aspects are impacting thinking in healthcare too.
This webinar will revisit the theology of work, a framework to look at work as a calling and vocation and reflect on how these understandings can influence our professional life and choices.
