Habits of Faith in the Workplace with Dr. Steve Scoper & Dorothy Castelly '21
On April 15, 2021, we hosted our spring Faith & Work lunch once more over Zoom and, while we look forward to returning to these in person, we’re grateful for the many who could attend who wouldn’t otherwise have been able to. Fourth year Horizons Fellow and pre-med student, Dorothy Castelly (‘21) hosted this spring’s conversation with Dr. Steve Scoper, a renowned ophthalmologist based in Virginia Beach, VA and beloved TH Board Chair. You can enjoy this hour long conversation by listening on Soundcloud or by watching on Vimeo.
“I love the word intersection. That is part of the theme of Theological Horizons. And so... my faith was one little compartmentalized area and a little box off to the side and my work and career and preparing for that was the big box. But, there was really not much intersection at all. Some of us have faith from when we were children and it slowly, slowly grows into something very powerful and some people have an experience that they go, ‘wow, this changes everything’! And so I’m one of those people that had an experience 15 or 20 years ago, had an encounter with the Holy spirit that just changed everything and made me realize that faith was so important. So at that point, the faith was one road and parallel. My work and my career were on another road. But, slowly with time, it happened that I started to get this intersection of the faith in the work and then, come see, [God] becomes even closer. ”
