Marie Phillipson wants all workers to practice their religion at work, every workday.
While she would like the working masses to embrace Christianity, the president of Neptune-based MarketPlace Leaders New Jersey says she isn't trying to convert anyone.
"There's no evangelism in this," says Phillipson, whose for-profit organization has as its motto "Helping You Fulfill God's Calling."
"I understand people are leery because there are very aggressive church groups out there trying to convert everyone,'' she says. "But my goal is equipping Christians to practically implement faith in their work life.''
Some employers are skittish about bringing religion into the workplace. One North Jersey employer who asked not to be identified said he would rather not have religion in the workplace and that workers should practice their religion on their own time.
