S117 The Commodity of Care.
By Hans S Reinders
Autumn 2002
The author looks at the introduction of economic rationality into healthcare delivery. He argues the introduction of economic rationality implies a different conception of the nature of healthcare professions. In analyzing its impact, he focuses on the notion of care, which he takes to be central to the professional ethic, not only of doctors and nurses, but also of professionals working in other areas such a special education, homes for the elderly, or day care centres.

Hans S. Reinders occupies the Willem van den Bergh Chair of the Ethics of Disability at Free University, Amsterdam. This paper was delivered as an address on 14th May 2001 at Deakin University, Burwood, Vic.

S118 Beyond Vocation: New Theologies of Work.
By Christopher White
Autumn 2002
What has been termed, rightly or wrongly, the ‘Protestant work ethic,’ has given rise to the world of total work, which since the Industrial Revolution has come to pervade and rule much of modern Western life. Unsurprisingly, the increasingly dominant position of work in Western society has led to significant Christian (and other) interest in the subject. In the last decade, Miroslav Volf has put forward a pneumatologically oriented Trinitarian alternative to the (traditional Protestant) vocational approach.

Christopher J White is a former CEO of a European actuarial firm. This paper is adapted from an MA (Theology) Chris recently complete on the theology of work and management at King's College, University of London.
