1139.0. "Christianity and Karoshi" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (Ps. 85.10) Fri Sep 15 1995 13:34

Karoshi -- A Japanese word for death by overwork.

What does our Christian heritage and thinking have to say about Karoshi?

Shalom,

    Re: Karoshi.  It is amazing in our push button society few people,
    including myself, don't take advantage of resting on the Lord's day!
    
    I am starting to get better though!

1139.2our minister preaced on Karoshi this weekALFSS1::EASTIE::dixie1Tue Sep 19 1995 00:2110
Our minister preached on Karoshi this past Sunday!
 His childrens' sermon involved kudzu,,and ours was about Karoshi,,I
think i'd prefer kudzu of the two imports!

 The scripture was from Luke,,"you can't serve both God and Mammon.."
warned against getting so deep in debt that we lose sight of who we're
serving....

 I'll see if i can get a copy if y'all are interested...
