Transforming Business

Theology and business
Trying to mix theology and business is often likened to trying to mix oil and water. But a group of the world's top thought leaders who work at the theology and business interface will be assembling at Laity Lodge's Retreat Center in the Fio River Canyon of Texas from 14-17 October 2010. Through a dynamic process of reading, listening and mutual learning, the aim will be to mobilize good theory into practice and good practice into theory. Dr Peter Heslam (Director of Transforming Business) will be one of the participants. Although the event is invitation-only, those interested in the proceedings should contact Prof Randy Franz, the conference convenor, after the event on rfranz[at]spu.edu

Entrepreneurial leaders
The Centre for Entrepreneurial Leaders, directed by Transforming Business' Dr Rick Goossen, will be holding its annual Entrepreneur Forum in Vancouver in Cananda, from 19-20 October 2010. This is one of the largest gatherings of faith-based entrepreneurs in the world. The programme on Oct 20th will include an academic gathering co-sponsored by Transforming Business. Besides Dr Rick Goossen and Dr Peter Heslam, speakers include business leader and best-selling author Peter John Daniels. Details will be posted on the website of the Centre here.

Equipping for the Marketplace
The Christian Business Faculty Association (CBFA) will be holding its annual conference at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, from 21-23 October 2010 on the theme 'Equipping for the Marketplace'.
