(3) The Churches and Time Management
1) Theology also contributed to the view that time is a limited resource. (Reformers: Luther, Merton, Calvin etc.)
2) Aristotle's view of time had dominated the philosophy of the Meddle Ages, by the time of the Reformation Christian thinkers were not satisfied to consider time in just an abstract philosophical sense.
3) In the Reformers' view, people as stewards before God were to employ and account for their time.
4) Luther emphasized the value of work, and, according to sociologist Robert K. Merton, Calvin's emphasis on the stewardship of time stimulated the development of the watch industry in Geneva.
5) Theology entered the marketplace(the center of exchange for invisible value such as ideas or opinions), and time became utilitarian(so called as pragmatism).
6) In this sense the time manage of the church become utilitarian in which there must have and use it.
7) For Western people, the control of time is part of the original biblical mandate: time is to be dominated, subdued and ruled over like the rest of nature(Gen. 1:28).
8) Time is a resource at our disposal, to be used and exploited under careful management.
9) Sound administration of resources is a given in a future-oriented, choleric culture; and time is to be considered as precious a resource ad money, people or petroleum.
10) Humanity has the responsibility to \\\"redeem the time\\\"(Eph 5:16; Col 4:5), and that means to do more with it.
11) The churches, while contributing to this understanding of time, were slow to put it into practice themselves.
12) Many churches use computers to provide efficiency. Many priests and ministers suffer from burnout, succumbing to the same temptations of \\\"time macho\\\" as their secular counterparts.
