Abstract
"The crisis in employment has gripped the imagination and commitment of the Christian community in quite an astonishing way. There is a formidable amount of practical and pastoral activity. As importantly, it is through the Church that some of the more c reative and forward looking thinking about work and the future of industrial society has been done. Such activity is important because it is part of the Church's task to ask how the Gospel demands are to be understood in the movements of history. This paper, only briefly, tries to pick up some of the issues that would seem to be important in support of exercising the more immediate terms of ministry, at whatever level, in the situation"
