Well, I do know a little about the diversity in the work force. In fact it is promoted at my job. I work in a Russian Orthodox church, in the administrative department. When I first joined this organization majority of employees were devout Christians. as an assistant to the treasurer, me and another person were given a task of replacing the current staff. Me and the other person sat down and talked about this for a while. We both decided that the best solution would be to diversify our work force. I was probably the first non christian person that they've hired and after showing great progress, the administration agreed with me that we shouldn't be reluctant to hire someone just because their religious views are different. So now I have at least two Jewish girls working with me and people from all kinds of different backgrounds. at least the work gets done, as apposed to the previous religious staff that was running around all day trying to get a blessing from the Arch-Bishop. Cultural diversity is a very positive thing!!! Oh and to refer back to the title, this is actually a mailing postage that we received that I couldn't not laugh about :)
I'm a little surprised that they embraced religious diversity... of all the places that could discriminate based on faith you'd think a church would be the place
ReplyDeleteI am also surprised that a church was ok about allowing people from outside of their religion to work their and more so from another religion rather than an atheist. But I am glad to see that its not a problem. I would have never thought that that would have happened. I went to a catholic school and everyone was a catholic from the school and the church attached to the school.
