Between excessive overtime on the one hand and chronic unemployment on the other, work seems to absorb much of our time and thought as a society. So how does this preoccupation with occupation affect our lives as Christians? What is the meaning of work? What value do we give it, and what value does it give us? What are the effects of unemployment; of underemployment? How do we develop a spirituality of work? This participant's guide is a discussion unit which examines what Vatican II has to say on the topic of work, and how we can respond to that message. Topics include: work - what does it mean; the value of work - what makes it human; the performance of work - what guides it; the absence of work - inevitable or immoral; the spirituality of work - what steps to take; working for God's kingdom - what steps to take; and learning into action - a practical experience.
