For the Christian, work is meant to become a participation in the continuing redemptive mission of Jesus, and His ongoing work. Jesus viewed his entire life and mission as work. He was always doing the work of the One who sent Him (John 9:3-4). We are now invited by grace to learn to live in the same way. The early Christians knew the dignity of all human work. Even their early worship became known as liturgy which literally means the work of the Church. For them, the real world was not a place to be avoided - it was their workshop!

Why I Said No to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: Embryonic Stem Cell Research Is Deadly By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 31, 2014 I was approached to take the Ice Bucket Challenge to help bring an end to ALS. I said No. I have tried to explain why I said No in this article. I hope it is a helpful contribution in our public discussion. As a Christian, it is never easy to be seen as seemingly unwilling to support a noble cause such as the eradication of a debilitating disease.
