Not that worm, THIS worm!

An Integrated Life: Seeking Wholeness in a Fractured World
This seminar for pastors & spouses will look at some of the divisions or splits that challenge many of us: internal vs. external; family vs. church/ministry; emotional vs. mental; person vs. role; confidence vs. humility; private vs. public. All of these areas of potential split make our lives, families, and ministries more difficult. How do we find integration that brings wholeness to ourselves, our families and those we serve?

Who should attend: church and ministry leaders and their spouses, pastors, church staff, full-time Christian workers, missionaries, staff serving in Christian organizations

A Mini Spiritual Retreat | Philip Chircop, S.J.

Barefoot on Holy Ground: Sacred Necessities for Passionate Living
BAREFOOT we are in direct contact with the earth that holds us and sustains us. During this all-day session and mini spiritual retreat, I hope we will be “mightily inspired,” exploring a few practices that can help us experience the “life in abundance” (John 10:10) that Jesus promises. Embracing these sacred necessities we will hopefully move from the surface of things into the dark cave of the heart where real transformation happens. This session is about paying attention to the traces of God’s compassion and mercy, the echoes of God’s love, the sparks of the divine that we are soaked in every moment of our lives. It is all about the art of WAKING UP.

Who should attend: anyone wanting to discover, rediscover, or deepen their relationship with God and find the sacred in everyday life.

Presenter: Philip Chircop, S.J.
Philip, a jesuit priest, is an internationally known retreat master and public speaker. He is a native of the Mediterranean island of Malta presently working in Toronto, Canada. He is an artist at heart and madly in love with all things beautiful and soulful: music, painting, sculpture, photography, film, theatre, poetry, good company, good food, good wine and more. He strongly believes that beauty is a uniquely wonderful entry into the mystery of the God “whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.” God can indeed be sensed and experienced in all things if we have ears to hear and eyes to see, if we have the patience to have a long, loving look at the real that surrounds us.

Prior to coming to Toronto, Philip served as an associate pastor in a vibrant young parish on the Island of Malta, as a Prefect of Studies at the local Jesuit High school and as a chaplain at the State University of Malta. In Canada, Philip’s main ministry is in the field of spirituality. He travels widely to many countries to facilitate retreats, workshops and seminars on a variety of topics to a variety of groups from all walks of life. He is available for conferences, seminars, workshops and key-note addresses for churches, pastoral and parish councils, groups, religious congregations and businesses alike.

Does God Care About My Work?

Session 1 - The Problem of Work
70% of people working are not engaged by the work they do and Christians are no exception. What are the problems we have with work? What are the specific problems that Christians have? Why do so many of us feel like second-class citizens in the Christian world? This first session will look at these issues and help us understand the issues surrounding the workplace.

Session 2 - God's Vision for Work
Does God have a specific purpose for work? Does God have a vision for work? Does God have roles for each of us to play? Is work a calling? Unless we understand God's vision for work, how can we fully engage in the workplace in a way that is consistent with His will for our lives? This session will look at what Scriptures has to say about God's basic vision for work so that we can be properly oriented in the marketplace.

Session 3 - How Should We Work?
Once we understand God's vision for work and our role in it, are there specific ways that God wants us to work? How does God evaluate our performance? How might Christians think differently about working with others? This session will highlight several Scriptural themes that will help you think about "how" we should work.

Session 4 - The Impact Of Work
Finally we will take time to look at the Impact of Work? How does work impact human flourishing? What benefits does it bring? How can work help us love our neighbor? Is work a platform for evangelism? How do we think about wealth and influence that work might bring?
Each session will comprise a prepared presentation and an expansive Q&A Session that will allow for plentiful interaction.

Who should attend: anyone seeking to find new value, meaning, purpose, and God’s presence in their work

Presenter: Andy Mills
Andy is primed and passionate about giving new value, meaning and purpose to WORK. Andy says, "Something is wrong: Christians are like everybody else in the work place. Work is utilitarian on the one hand and idolatry defining self-worth on the other. Neither end works. It does not bring shalom or peace. There's no vision for God nor the possibility that God cares."

Andy's background is The Workplace. His unique and extensive background includes leading one of the largest global information companies as CEO and board member of the Thomson Financial and Professional Publishing unit of The Thomson Corporation, which under his leadership grew revenue to exceed $3.5 billion. He has also provided key leadership to a variety of innovative non-profit organizations.

Andy's foundation, however, is Christ. Co-Chair of the Theology of Work Project, he speaks frequently on work and faith, devotes most of his time to Christian ministry as a missionary from Hope Christian Church in Winchester MA, as a senior fellow at The King’s College in New York City where he was previously president and chairman of the board and in active mentoring of men of all ages. He is a regular traveler to Africa where he is involved in economic development activities in the West Nile region of Uganda and is co-founder of the Mango Fund.

Andy received his BA from Oxford University and his MBA from Harvard University. Andy lives in Winchester, MA with his wife Gail of 31 years. They have two children, Victoria and Christopher, and as foster parents have welcomed more than 30 children into their family since 1999.

Speaking about WORK, of course. 

Andy is primed and passionate about giving new value, meaning and purpose to WORK. Andy says, "Something is wrong: Christians are like everybody else in the work place. Work is utilitarian on the one hand and idolatry defining self-worth on the other. Neither end works. It does not bring shalom or peace. There's no vision for God nor the possibility that God cares."

That's why Andy's speaking at HONOLULU 2015. Andy is here to help us ask how are we defined by our work. Does God really cares about our work or are we second-class citizens who chose the work place? 

Andy's background is The Workplace. His unique and extensive background includes leading one of the largest global information companies as CEO and board member of the Thomson Financial and Professional Publishing unit of The Thomson Corporation, which under his leadership grew revenue to exceed $3.5 billion.
