As a young researcher the historical figure who inspired me to want to put research to social good was Seebohm Rowntree, the Quaker chocolate manufacturer and pioneering social investigator – one of a long line of Quakers who sought to fuse their faith and their business practices.
The contemporary witness of Quakers in business is the theme of the latest edition of the Kingdom at Work Bulletin from the Kingdom at Work Project.
You can find the issue, and all previous editions on our Faith and Work in Theological Education and Training page.
