Lets create some Conversations QUESTION #1 In our Track introduction we said that there is a difference between money and wealth. What is the difference, if any? How can money and / or wealth contribute to building the Kingdom of God? How can the church best honour business leaders in their wealth creation?

Lets create some Conversations QUESTION #2 How can church leaders fully integrate business into the call of the whole church? Are there issues (or formats) common to most churches that distance business leaders from the church community? Are there areas within church that are incompatible with business?

Lets create some Conversations QUESTION #3 Church leaders sometimes overlook marketplace leaders in their discipleship process by focusing on church type ministries (preaching, teaching, worship). How can church leaders better disciple, develop and support business owners and business leaders within their congregations?

Lets create some Conversations QUESTION #4 Unfortunately, the only value some church leaders place on high-level business leaders is that their giving helps fund the vision of the church. What are the tensions around giving and tithing? How can the church manage this sensitive issue? Please follow: @GatherUK Please use the hash tags: #gathernorth #gatherbusiness

Lets create some Conversations QUESTION #5 Leading a business is highly demanding and you never really ‘switch - off’. Any ‘free time’ is extremely precious and vital for supporting marriage and family life. How can the church accommodate the busy and demanding lives of business leaders?
