'The place where Britain will be converted is the workplace', said Mark Greene, the Director of the Institute for Contemporary Christianity.
He was speaking at Spring Harvest's 'At Work Together' Conference, under the chairmanship of Stephen Gaukroger at the International Conference Centre in Harrogate from November 15 to 17. His seminar was entitled 'What every worker wished their church leader knew'. Possibly his words overstate the case, but they certainly reflect the underlying conviction that the world of work is a vital sphere of Christian service.
Including day delegates, a total of 900 people attended, mainly Christians in leadership in industry and commerce, but also a small representation of church leaders.
