Faith and the Workplace
2008 martie 13
The roll of yellow barricade tape was lying on the floor in the corner of the church. I thought maybe one of the police or fireman left it there by mistake. After all, it was 4:00AM, and things were still pretty chaotic. I was completing another Saturday nightshift at Ground Zero, where I was privileged to serve as a chaplain to the rescue and recovery workers. Though I am a Christian, I worked with people of all faith traditions, with those who had no faith, and with those who had lost their faith. Tired but curious, I bent down to look at the roll of yellow barricade tape, and saw that instead of the usual writing, “Police — Do Not Cross” it read, “GOD AT WORK.”
