He then discussed the relationship between the church and business. John believes that the Church has not always been informed about the state of business. There is a sense that at all levels business is a 'bad area' and not a suitable arena for the Church to be involved in.
He challenged Chaplains to bring about change to this situation. He called upon them to inform the Church how the 'real world' performs and enable the Church to make informed decisions in all areas of business.
Mark Greene of the LICC often points out that the world of work matter to our God and our task, John insisted, was to educate and inform.
John cares about the faith and work relationship and I suspect will remain a faithful advocate for the work of MIBIC.

Editor's Note
We are currently doing a good deal within MIBIC to increase our contact with the business world, whether it is with the 'management' side or with the Trade Unions. It is not a question of 'sides', however, as reasonable people on both sides will find common ground.
If this area interests you, or you feel you can contribute, don't hesitate to contact MIBIC.
