Acton Institute to Sponsor ‘Faith at Work Summit’
Acton Institute to Sponsor ‘Faith at Work Summit’
Mar 19, 2026 12:46 AM

Conversations about “faith-work integration” are alive and well, whether in the church, workplace, or academia, and the Acton Institute continues to offer a variety of resources on the subject, from its growing series of tradition-specific primers to various books and lectures to educational video curricula.

In keeping with these efforts, the Acton Institute will be a co-sponsor to the very first Faith @ Work Summit in Boston, MA from October 24-25, where a diverse group of businesspeople, students, pastors, and various others will gather to discuss the state of the faith-work movement and how we might move forward.

From the event’s web site:

On October 24 and 25, 2014, a seminary, a technology school, a business school, and a foundation join forces to convene a summit to address these two over-arching questions.

The purpose of the summit is to gather active leaders and participants in the faith at work movement to assess the state of the movement (achievements, needs, obstacles, opportunities, and resources) and together to develop an agenda going forward for individuals in the workplace, churches, marketplace ministries, seminaries and Bible schools, and universities and business schools.

This is aworkingconference, not a celebrity or performance-oriented event.All speakers, leaders, and organizers are donating their time and effort. We e and encourageeveryvoice in attendance to help shape our understanding and our sense of agenda going forward.

This is an important gathering for the movement at large, and an encouraging sign of the growth and prevalence of this important conversation. I look forward to seeing the fruit es from it.

View a list of speakers here, and register for the conference here.

When Being Pro-Market Requires Being Anti-Business
Who is the biggest enemy of the free market system? The late Milton Friedman, one of the 20th century’s most prominent free market champions, had a surprising answer: the munity.

On health care reform and bank regulation, I would...
Letter from London: The Protestant Work Ethic and Anglosphere Catholicism
I spent last week in London attending a couple of stimulating conferences at theInstitute for Economic Affairs (IEA) and the Transformational Business Network (TBN), and catching up with some friends and acquaintances. All of the discussions were either officially off-the-record or of a personal nature, so I can’t be too specific about who said what but my general impression, obvious to anyone who’s visited, is that London remains an extremely vibrant, forward-looking, prosperous global capital in stark contrast to much...

Mother Superiors of the Boardroom Jump the Gun
As noted previously this week, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan shot down a $9.5 billion (reported in some news accounts as $6 billion) judgment against Chevron for allegedly bespoiling Ecuadorian wilderness in cahoots with PetroEcuador. Judge Kaplan exonerated Chevron, and had some particularly nasty things to say about Steven Donziger, the attorney who sued the pany for $113 billion. I pointed out that Donziger’s since-discredited claims were taken up quickly by religious shareholder activists, many who submitted resolutions requesting that...
Talented but Unemployed? God May Be Calling You to Grubby, Unglamorous Work
“When People Give Up Looking for Work, What Do They Do?” A Wall Street Journal story looks at the “millions of working-age men” sidelined by the economic slump, and warns that “the longer they’re out of work, the more their skills deteriorate and the harder it is to land the next job.” “Those who can’t find work often turn to safety net programs, such as food stamps, unemployment benefits and disability — programs that have ballooned since the recession began,”the...

The Bible in American Life
Surveys have found thatnearly eight in ten Americans regard the Bible as either the literal word of God or as inspired by God. At thesame time, other surveys have revealed—and recent books have analyzed—surprising gaps inAmericans’ biblical literacy. These discrepancies reveal American plexrelationship to their scripture, a subject that is widely acknowledged but rarely investigated.To understand that paradox, theCenter for the Study of Religion and American Culture conducted thefirst large-scale investigation of the Bible in American life. “The Bible in...
