Dear {first},

CFW is honored to announce its inaugural Commission of Faith & Work to Pulitzer Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson, for her notable integration of faith and work and remarkable contributions to the humanities.

Robinson is the author of four novels: Lila (2014), winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award; Home (2008), winner of the Orange Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Gilead (2004), winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and Housekeeping (1980), winner of PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Fiction. Her five nonfiction books include The Givenness of Things: Essays (2015) and The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought (1998).

We look forward to facilitating several community-building opportunities where Redeemerites and New Yorkers can engage with Robinson's writing. To learn more about the commission and engage Robinson's work, visit our website.

Sincerely,

David H. Kim, Executive Director, Center for Faith & Work

THE SOULFUL ENTREPRENEUR

Join David Kim and Dave Evans on April 20 for a lunch-time discussion on how the intrinsic, instrumental, and innovative work of entrepreneurs and investors can embody God's incarnate glory in our world.

In this video resource from the CFW Conference, author Alissa Wilkinson explains how “filmmakers and TV creators and painters and novelists are forever striving to re-enchant the world with their work.” She and David Kim explore how our culture has taken themes of the supernatural or mystical and uniquely appropriated them for today’s world. Even within a seemingly “dis-enchanted” world, we clearly see a deep yearning for the transcendent. Cultural forms and movements all bear different expressions of that yearning, but one notably potent place it exists is in our popular narratives. More>
