“Consider that in the New Testament of Jesus’ 132 public appearances, 122 were in the marketplace. Of 52 parables Jesus told, 45 had a workplace context. Of 40 miracles in the book of Acts, 39 were in the marketplace. Jesus spent his adult life as a carpenter until age 30 before he went into a preaching ministry in the workplace. And, 54% of Jesus’ reported teaching ministry arose out of issues posed by others in the scope of daily life experience.”
Why is that so remarkable? Jesus had to go where the people were. If you are out looking for lost sheep, you don’t stay home with the gate closed.
The author apparently can’t imagine what a few people can to to company unity and productivity by trying to ‘share their faith’ with other workers during business hours. This went on in a company that I (formerly) worked for. The entire thing was divisive and offensive. Good way to drive off customers, too. It used to be that religion, sex, and politics were off limits during work hours, for good reason.
