Resources for Parishes: Radical Abundance and Building an Ethical Economy

November 30, 2011

It’s been observed that the Occupy Wall Street movement has influenced a national conversation on issues of economic justice, fiscal policy, and the loss of public trust in government. It’s probably safe to assume that these conversations are not only happening around the dinner table and water cooler, but also in parish halls and church meeting rooms across the country.

Below are several resources drawn from two Trinity Institute conferences that elaborate on many related themes: Radical Abundance: A Theology of Sustainability and Building an Ethical Economy: Theology and the Marketplace.
