Over at the Deacon's Bench, I just read about a fascinating new initiative called The Catholic Business Journal. From what I can tell poking around the site, it is a website whose goal is to foster the integration of faith into the daily world of business. Here's what CBJ says about itself:

The Catholic Business Journal is a premiere online business platform where Catholic business professionals can exchange ideas, create new ventures, explore faith-based solutions to challenging business and human resource problems, post jobs and resumes, and foster new opportunities to serve together, ultimately, a higher purpose.

Fully faithful to the teaching magisterium of the Catholic church, the Catholic Business Journal is dedicated to fostering a seamless integration of faith and work in the practical arena of business.
Founded by, and designed specifically for, Catholic business professionals, the Catholic Business Journal also serves as a one-stop place to connect seasoned professionals with new and younger graduates of Catholic colleges and universities who are entering the workforce.

Catholic business-to-business networking and online community components include Job Listings, Discussion Boards, Prayer Requests, Business Directory and Peer Reviews of Books, Movies, Hotels and Restaurants.

News content features breaking and daily news feeds from respected business journals nationwide, including Business Week, Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones MarketWatch, and leading Catholic and religious news services such as ZENIT and Catholic World News.

Other content includes Catholic Business Columnists, Daily Mass Readings and reflections, Ads, and online Catholic and professional book and gift stores.

The transforming impact of the Faith in evaluating and assessing daily business decisions can radically change lives and culture in significant ways. The Catholic Business Journal is a useful tool in this process, and its leadership anticipates evolving and growing to accommodate the expanding needs of its readership.

I think that this is a fascinating initiative and one that takes seriously the call of the laity to live out the apostolic dimensions of their lives with fruitfulness and integrity. So, stop by the Catholic Business Journal and take a look around.
