"All life is sacred. If we just see it, all of life is sacred... The Christian life is not to do sacred things, but to do all things in a sacred way."--- Howard E. Butt, Jr.
For the past couple of years, I have enjoyed being associated with Laity Lodge and the Howard E. Butt Family Foundation. I have spoken at Laity Lodge twice and will be returning to attend a conference in November and will speak there again next summer. I have also been asked to contribute to their website ministry "The High Calling of Our Daily Work" and my friend, Mark Roberts is becoming their new Senior Director and Scholar in Residence. For "The High Calling" and Laity Lodge, everyday life is holy life, and our daily work is holy work. They are deeply committed to the ministry of the laity and the transformation of society through equipping Christians to see their occupations as part of a larger vocation.
This video tells even more of the story of the lodge. This blog and this website give resources for helping every Christian see his or her life AS ministry.
Came over through High Calling.
I wish I lived closer to Laity. As an East Coast person, I have little confidence that I'll get there any time soon. But it sounds enchanting.
