On Tuesday 29 August 2017, Trinity Theological College had the privilege of hearing Dr Robert Banks speak on the topic of ‘Affirming and Equipping Church Members for their Vocation in the Marketplace’ organised by Faith and Society Forum. The seminar came at a timely moment, considering the recent surge in discussions centring on ‘marketplace theology’ or the idea of conceiving our jobs as vocations granted by God.

I remember when I first joined gardening, I was assigned to remove the weeds that had overgrown in the garden. Hence, week after week, I would take a spade, place the bottom tip of the blade right next to the stem and press down vertically to push the blade into the soil and then tilt the spade downwards towards the ground to pull the whole root out. Sometimes, I would use my hands to pull out the weeds instead. To me, that wasn’t a simple task!
