It is the business of the church to recognize that the secular vocation, as such, is sacred. Christian people, and particularly perhaps the Christian clergy, must get it firmly into their heads that when a man or woman is called into a particular job of secular work, that is as true a vocation as though he or she were called to a specifically religious work.
The example used was of a carpenter. If he works hard at building a table, that table is a Christian table. It doesn't have to have Scripture verses carved into it. The same goes for music. This is what I have been trying to say, and Sayers says it better than I could.
