Online - Navigating Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
@
On paper, equality, diversity, and inclusion are noble, even Biblical, sentiments: since the Equality Act was passed in the UK in 2010, organisations have been mandated to ensure fair treatment and opportunity for everyone at work. But we’ve read the news articles about Christians finding themselves in trouble at work for what they wear or what they say. We might be unsure about using pronouns in our signatures, or whether we can share our faith with colleagues without causing offence.
As Christians, we believe that our work, workplaces, and fellow workers matter to God. We want to be faithful disciples who are as shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves in our organisations. We want to navigate the waters of EDI with integrity. So what biblical wisdom can 21st-Century Christians draw on? And how might we show up to work as leaders who want to mould the culture of our workplaces to look more like the kingdom of heaven? Might EDI be a useful – even redemptive – tool in our toolbox?

We face a plethora of practical, moral and ethical dilemmas. Are resilience, adaptability, and the ability to pivot in a new direction the ways to a new future?
If we can survive and cope - can we profit from the new workplace?
Is a new ethical approach the route to sustainable prosperity?
How do we respond to these challenges?
