Excerpt
What is the meaning of work? That's the question explored by the participants in the New Wine Exchange conference, "The Working World - What is Good Work?" May 1-3, in Chicago.
Kim Zalent, the coordinator of NWE, planned the conference with the help of several local groups.
The conference's approximately 40 participants heard a presentation by the Rev. Stanley Hallett of Garret Theological Seminary (Evanston, Illinois). Hallett said that the basic assumptions about work need to be reexamined: unlimited population growth, unlimited resources, and access to unlimited land are no longer accurate assumptions. He insists that work can no longer have as its goal ''new wealth production; instead, a system of wealth maintenance must be developed."
