Hope for Hybrids: Faithful Presence in Organizational Life

  • Roland Hoksbergen

Abstract

Throughout biblical history the people of God struggled in an ever-changing world to live faithfully. Technology, the physical environment, geopolitics, and even the spiritual world evolved over long periods of time in striking and fascinating ways. As times changed, the people of God, under the direction of the Father, the Son or the Spirit, changed the way they lived. Throughout the biblical story, and ever since, very few things on this earth, with exceptions like the character of God himself, have been exempt from evolutionary change. Human organizations are certainly not exempt. Institutions and organizational structures in such arenas as family, education, church, culture, society and politics are ever changing as they respond to new conditions and needs. So it is too with economic and business institutions. They change and adapt in response to new challenges.
