How Business Ought To Be Carried - Bernardine of Sienna 1380-1444
Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
Tuesday Sep 03, 2024
In honour of Labour Day, consider Bernardine’s words in the powerful argument against clergy taking on secular responsibilities. This discourse challenges the blurring of lines between sacred and civic duties, urging that pastors, priests and friars focus solely on their divine missions. From the dangers of greed to unethical business practices, it’s a call to respect the boundaries between the religious and secular, ensuring each fulfills their rightful role in our community.
