Interesting that one of the first public outings by Roger Corbett after being made Chair of Fairfax Media will be to a function organised by Christian lobby and business groups.
On the 27 October, he will address a luncheon at Victoria’s Parliament House, organised by Australian Marketplace Connections, which:
exists to:
create a marketplace community focussed on releasing the Kingdom of God in our cities and towns.
The Vision statement of AMC is:
To see every Australian have at least one opportunity in their lifetime to work alongside someone who is a living letter of Jesus Christ to them (2 Cor 3:3).
In the promotional material for the lunch, Corbett is quoted as saying:
“One of the great tenets of life for me is to ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. I’m happy to say I’m a follower of Jesus Christ; have been all my life. I’m an Anglican and a regular churchgoer, practically every week. It means faith, assurance, direction, and a fundamental underwriting of what I think the word integrity means.”
UPDATE: A reader has sent me a link to the article from which this quote was taken. Written back in 2006, but an interesting insight into Corbett, his attitude to work, money, God, Woolworths and women.
