“What Do People Gain from All the Toil …
September 5

…at which they toil under the sun?” So asks the author of Ecclesiastes in a very contemporary question. Unemployment is high, and many who have jobs are afraid of losing them. Recent polls indicate record levels of job dissatisfaction. On this Labor Day weekend we will reflect on some Biblical texts that deal with the nature of work and discuss the implications for our TGIF society. Is work the ‘sweat of your brow’ curse on fallen humanity or a blessing, a calling to emulate God?
