Would you mind elaborating on this? Most Evangelical Protestants I know would call this "working theory" crazy and delusional. Which is might be, but certainly isn't emblematic of a traditional view.

I doesn't matter to me what terminology is used. I used "the work" since it is a term recognizable to the audience. I would generally define it as pursuing the great commission. Paul preaching the gospels to the gentiles is an example of "the work" (though you can use other terms if you'd like). It was a personal commission to him, to which others joined, but the accountability was his before God. That "work" didn't belong to a particular congregation.
