For most evangelical executives, being an evangelical Christian in a corner office is not so much confusing or tension-filled as lonely. While the faith at work movement encourages evangelical business leaders to integrate their faith and their work, evangelical executives do not lack ways to implement their faith. Rather, they thirst for companionship and legitimation—for reassurance that their vocational choices have been sound and their time and energy well spent. Such is the primary effect of the faith at work movement for evangelical executives, the gist of whose rhetoric is to baptize business, or provide symbolic justification of business as a sacred enterprise. Eager indeed to integrate faith and work, for them, integration works in reverse. Evangelical business leaders are as likely to export business concepts into other contexts as to import religious concepts into the corporate domain, prompting reconsideration of the direction of influence between religious and economic life. |
