WORK AS A CALLING
In an article in the Sunday, January 29, 1995 issue of the Fort Wayne, Indiana Journal Gazette, reporter Terri Hughes-Lazzell writes about a 1988 study of 31 upper class and middle upper class congregations in the South Bend and Lafayette, Indiana area. The study by Professor James Davidson of Purdue University concluded that the stronger one’s religious beliefs and the more religiously active, the more inclined this person was to consider job or career as a calling by God. Other findings concerning these people were that they were more likely to conscientiously consider their jobs as that which would further the kingdom of God and positively impact those around them. Those who saw their jobs as callings were more prone to work directly with people.
