Cultivating the Garden: Work and Human Flourishing
The place of work in our experience of the world could be looked at from a variety of angles: its social dimension, its economic dynamics, its ethical questions, the relationships formed around it and so on. The reality is that work is central in how societies are structured and how we live our lives.
In the creation narrative, work is seen both as a gift and as a task given by the Creator to humanity. To cultivate the garden carries the meanings of being human as we care for and interact with our surroundings. From a Christian perspective to work is a wonderful thing. Working is one part of how we reflect the image of God. However, as humanity lives under the shadow of the fall, all good things have the potential to be misused, misplaced, and abused. So work too can become a source of exploitation, oppression and injustice.
Work is central to how we define our identity. It is also a complex subject to understand as we experience its contribution to human flourishing as well as human degradation.
