In the past we've been accused of letting business get in the way of ministry. Sadly, a reality of our current world is that statutory and regulatory requirements mean that a degree of concentration and intentionality is given to business practice.
Yesterday, Brad and Nathan attended the Divisional Business Day. These are held three times a year to bring officers and network directors in The Salvation Army up to speed with things that they need to be kept abreast of in the business/ legal world.
In coming months some significant things will impact our operations. Some of you would be aware of the Work Health Safety rules publicised through the Messenger Press this week. Because we are already a best practice centre, some of the impact described by other churches and charities in the paper will not be issues for us.
As well as this we are waiting for a decision from Fair Work Australia about the wage case claim made by the Australian Services Union on behalf of the social and community services sector. This could have a major impact on our service delivery, or at least our capacity to employ people in that sector.
In the meantime, please pray for us as we continue to attempt to be faithful stewards of the business, money, and people that God has placed in our care.
