MISSION

TheHighCalling.org seeks to connect people with the faith that undergirds and sustains all that we do. That’s why it is the high calling of our daily work. Daily work embraces all aspects and activities of daily life—including home, community, leisure, as well as occupation.

HOWARD BUTT, JR.

Howard E. Butt, Jr., has dedicated his life to both the family business and a ministry for Christian lay renewal. His vision for the vital role of the laity in the church and daily life has led him to write several books and produce one-minute radio spots entitled The High Calling of Our Daily Work®. This site is an effort to provide you with a tool to delve deeper into the concepts introduced in those spots.

ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Advisory Council is a diverse group of Christian clergy and laity (nonclergy) from all regions of the country. They are all notable speakers and writers on living the Christian faith. They believe strongly in the message of connecting our faith with the ordinary nitty-gritty areas of life.

H. E. BUTT FOUNDATION

This is a program of the H. E. Butt Foundation (hebuttfdn.org). Established in 1933 by Howard and Mary Holdsworth Butt as a private operating foundation to address their charitable, educational, and philanthropic concerns, the H. E. Butt Foundation is one of the oldest foundations in the state of Texas.

LAITY LODGE

Laity Lodge (laitylodge.org) is a Christian retreat center dedicated to our common quest to know Christ and what that means in all the relationships of our lives.

For more than forty years, Laity Lodge has served as a beacon of light for churches and lay men and women looking for spiritual depth. It is out of the work of Laity Lodge that this site has emerged.
