30: Social Audit

Phillippians 4:8
New International Version

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

Lee Hardy
The Fabric of This World (p95), Eerdmans, 1990

Unfortunately, many of the available jobs in our economy are geared to the production and sale of that which is cheap, frivolous, environmentally hazardous, and socially unsound...Simply having the right attitude, the “Christian attitude,” towards one’s work is not enough. One must also take into consideration the social content of one’s work: am I in my job, making a positive contribution to the human community; am I helping to meet legitimate human needs; am I somehow enhancing or promoting what is true, what is noble, and what is worthy in human life?”
