The Yale Center for Faith and Culture will host a national conference on workplace chaplaincy Wednesday-Friday, Aug. 17-19, at Sterling Divinity Quadrangle, 409 Prospect St.
The conference, titled "Workplace Chaplaincy: Hot Issues and Best Practices," will explore pressing issues facing those in the corporate world who are involved with some aspect of workplace chaplaincy programs.
The conference is being held under the auspices of the center's Ethics and Spirituality in the Workplace program, which is designed to help people integrate the claims of their faith and the demands of their work. The major audiences of the program are business and clergy leaders; M.B.A. students and clergy candidates; and corporations and congregations.
The primary sponsor for the August conference is Tyson Foods Inc., the nation's largest producer of protein products and one of America's largest corporate users of workplace chaplains. Other supporters include Marketplace Ministries Inc., Corporate Chaplains of America, and Chaplains Associated Inc.
The conference speakers will include John Tyson and Alan Tyson, chair/chief executive officer (CEO) and chaplain, respectively, of Tyson Foods; Tim Embry, CEO of American LubeFast Inc.; Robert Pettus Jr., vice chair of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated; Naomi Paget, a chaplain with the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and David Miller, executive director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture.
Some of the topics to be covered are "The National Picture of Workplace Chaplaincy for the Next Decade," "Thorny Legal Issues of Workplace Chaplaincy," "Workplace Ministry Models & Resources" and "What Chaplains Mean to My Company and To Our Total Life."
