Light, salt and the world of business (Didasko Files)

Dreaming of a real difference

LIGHT, SALT AND THE WORLD OF BUSINESS (The Didasko Files)
Why we must stand against corruption
By Sir Fred Catherwood
The Lausanne Movement. 32 pages. £1.99 from http://www.10ofthose.com
ISBN 978-1-899-464-050

No one observing the global banking crisis can doubt how far tentacles of corruption have extended. Corruption derails economies, damages political stability, discourages economic development and affects us all.

Sir Fred Catherwood has had extensive involvement in the business world. Rather than holding up our hands in despair, he argues that we should actively engage in society as agents of salt and light. The booklet includes sharp analysis, with helpful recommendations on what a Christian response might look like.

It is full of wise, practical advice and is as valuable for the general reader as for the Christian in business, or the pastor who wishes to help his people be better equipped for Monday mornings.

Arguing from biblical principles and historical example, Sir Fred presents his very big dream. Are there young, able entrepreneurs in your church? Do you know students who genuinely want their commitment to Christ to make a difference in the world? Get this into their hands. Sir Fred’s suggestion for a way forward merits wide discussion. It is a little gem of a booklet. Truly.
