Internships & After Graduation

English-Internships-After-Graduation-Body_0224


"The word vocation is a rich one, having to address the wholeness of life, the range of relationships and responsibilities. Work, yes, but also families and neighbors, and citizenship, locally and globally – all of this and more is seen as vocation, that to which I am called as a human being, living my life before the face of God. It is never the same word as occupation, just as calling is never the same word as career. Sometimes, by grace, the words and realities they represent do overlap, even significantly; sometimes, in the incompleteness of life in a fallen world, there is not much overlap at all." –Steven Garber, Visions of Vocation: Common Grace for the Common Good
