Each Labor Day weekend, in cities across the country,
thousands of congregations participate in Labor in the Pulpits /
on the Bimah / in the Minbar. The goals of Labor
in the Pulpits are to educate congregations about connections
between faith and work, inspire new friendships between people
in religious communities and unions, present congregations with
opportunities for acting on the social teachings of their faith
groups, and give union members a deeper experience of their
faith in action.
For more information on Labor in the Pulpits, or to involve
your congregation next year, contact Tamela Franks at
