From the Publisher:

The chasm between work and worship has a devastating effect on the health, vibrancy, and effectiveness of both our labor and our liturgy.

Drawing on years of ministry, teaching, and leadership experience, Matthew Kaemingk and Cory Willson (Pi Center) explain that our Sunday worship and our Monday work desperately need to inform and impact each other. They engage in a rich biblical, theological, and historical exploration of the deep connections between worship and work, showing Christian leaders how to help people practice the presence of God in and through their daily work.

Work and Worship will be a valuable resource for professors and students in courses on vocation, work, calling, worship, and practical theology. It will also appeal to pastors and worship leaders as well as marketplace ministry leaders who want to enact Christian practices in the workplace.

Montreal School of Theology

The Montreal School of Theology has been equipping pastoral and lay leaders for over a century, through the collaboration of the Montreal Diocesan Theological College and The Presbyterian College. Our mentoring program supports graduates, pastors, and priests of the Anglican, Presbyterian, and United Churches.

Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program of MST had its beginning in 2015, when it was first established as a program of The Presbyterian College to support new graduates. In 2022, this program is expanded to support the whole of MST and the students of diverse denominational traditions. In 2024 we are excited to launch groups for chaplains, spiritual care providers, and psychospiritual therapists.

At the Montreal School of Theology, our support of students doesn’t end with their graduation, but extends with them into ministry!

“God is at work in all the places we already inhabit. He is bigger than the arena of our own immediate church programs and ideas about evangelism. He is a prodigal God recklessly working in people and situations of all types. If we truly believe God is at work in the world, we must take the time to pay attention, listen, and discern what God is doing in the lives of those around us.” — David Fitch
