This event is now over

Date: May 26–May 27, 2017
Location: Regent College, 5800 University Blvd., Vancouver, BC
Join James and Chris Houston—father and son, scholar and management consultant—as they explore how the roots of our uniquely Christian identity and the social demands of business can equip us to participate with Christ in his reshaping of business "for goodness' sake."

Christ calls Christians to be salt and light—to engage fully without being transformed by the world about us, including the world of our work. Sometimes, though, we can find our Christian identity constrained rather than liberated by the expectations that seem to govern our business and other enterprises.

Participants will leave equipped with a better understanding of questions like—

  • What is the deeper purpose of my business "for the other"?
  • How can my personal transformation bring about business transformation?
  • What are Christ-honouring ways to approach profit maximization, product branding, and the demand for social impact?
