About ICF

 

ICF is a membership organisation that works to encourage individuals to deepen their understanding of God's purpose in the world of work and to provide support by:

 

· combining the practical experience and theological reflections of our members and extensive network of friends and associates

 

· helping our members and others to live out their faith at their work

 

· acting as a prophetic and challenging resource point for the churches in their ministry to all those at work.

 

ICF is a national ecumenical organisation, which was founded in 1877 and developed by the famous World War 1 chaplain, Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy - Woodbine Willie - who campaigned in his time for God to be heard at work, as ICF still does today.

 

 

What ICF Does

 

· We publish, in partnership with Ridley Hall Foundation, the leading journal in the field, Faith in Business.

 

· We publish services and worship material for use at Rogationtide, on Industrial Sunday and for private prayer.

 

· We provide details in our newsletter of events arranged by other organisations in the field of Faith and Work.

 

· We provide comprehensive lists of courses, journals and resource material in the field of Faith and Work

 

· We carry out research into how people at work see the importance of the Christian faith.

 

· We maintain high level contacts in the churches and in commerce and industry.

 

· We are (and always have been) ecumenical and inclusive.
