The content:

Each week course participants will receive an email with a short amount of reading material relative to that week's theme.  It will be based on the Bible.  The challenge in our discussions at table will be to unpack the content of what we have read, "test it", and then see how and where it may be adapted and applied in the workplace - to our benefit and to the benefit of all those with whom we work.
