Peace @ Work – February 12, 2022

Peace @ Work

Peace is more than an absence of conflict. George Fox advises us to live that life which removes the causes for all wars, inward and outward. Promoting peace sends a message to vendors, employees, and customers.

  • How can my business and the ways I work play a role in creating and promoting peace, compassion, and kindness?
  • How does investing in peace deliver a direct return on investment? Can this investment be both monetary and non-monetary?
  • Do I have an “inner peace plan” as well as a business/work plan?

Simplicity @ Work – January 8, 2022

Simplicity @ Work

We can be consumed by a desire for more. Sometimes it isn’t just for money or tangible things.

  • How do I recognize when I am pursuing more for the sake of more
  • Does my busy-ness distract me from the leadings of spirit?
  • When I’m striving for more, what is really missing?

Perspective @ Work -December 11, 2021

Perspective @ Work

Sometimes we need to take time to look at our work and our businesses from a different perspective.

  • What business am I really in; what is my real (spiritual) work?
  • What can I do to make my work perfect for me?
  • What is going to enrich my life and make it better?

Profit @ Work – November 13th 2011

Profit at Work
Some consider that making a profit is wrong.
Those in business – ourselves included – know that a business must be profitable to be sustainable.
But we also know that what a business does to make a profit affects individuals, communities, and the environment – for good or bad.
Is profit only about money, or can we find profitability in other ways?
One way I have profited in my life is….and one way profit has affected me is…
I am more comfortable / less comfortable with profit when…
This month’s topic was inspired by the British Q&B publication called Good Business: Ethics at Work (3rd Ed).
Here’s a link: Quakers and Business Group – Ethics at Work (qandb.org)

Criticism @ Work – October 9, 2021

Sometimes the same action can invoke a “you’re amazing” from one person and “you’re a nightmare” from another
How do we go ahead when taking risks and being vulnerable can feel so raw?
How do I understand and approach someone with a critical spirit?
Does my own self-criticism hold me back?

My Spiritual Journey @ Work –

My Spiritual Journey at Work@ Work Series-01.png

Early Friends turned the Light of Christ within and allowed it to be their guide.

When did I first become aware of spirit working in my life?

How has this awareness impacted my choice of business or profession?

How do I nurture spirit and radical faithfulness during my work day?

Quakers & Business – FGC pre-Gathering Conference

Saturday, June 19th at 10:30 AM EDT (US) you can learn:
Why did early Quaker businesses do so well?  Did they do it without taking on debt?
Today’s Quakers think that early Quakers didn’t use debt, based on George Fox’s use of a quote from Romans 13:8, “owe no man anything but love.”  But early Quakers didn’t take what Fox said literally, they did use debt in their businesses – they had to.  Quakers were developing their businesses in an early stage of capitalism, when people didn’t know how to handle money, and there weren’t systems in place for how to deal with money.  So Quakers developed their own system, a way that led to the great success that many early Quaker business people had.  But it wasn’t without issues.  But when they ran into problems, they developed more advices.
Karen Tibbals, author of  Persuade, Don’t Preach  will present a summary of the deep dive into Quaker history she did as part of her thesis for her Masters Degree in Quaker History from Earlham School of Religion. She will tell you why Quakers had to use debt, what they said about it, the crises that happened and how Quakers dealt with them.
Here’s more information on the Quakers & Business FGC Pre-Conference schedule and a link to register through FGC.
This year the conference is  “pay as led”.  If cash is  a concern – or if you’re not sure Q&B is for you and you just want to check out Karen’s talk or some other event – then register for $0.  (We’d rather have the opportunity get to know you and share our ministry than to have  your money.)
We look forward to Zooming with you next week!

Centered at Work

We are a sprouting organization in a rapidly changing world.  Being centered allows us to be in the moment.

How do I work when I feel centered?

How do I operate creatively from my center?

How do I remember to return to my center when I am distracted?

Creativity at Work

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…

    When I think about that of God in everyone, do I consider creativity?

    How am I creative in my work?

    How do I operate creatively from my center?
