Am I my brother’s keeper? This elective will take a theological, social and economic look at the issue of justice and redistribution. It will explore how and why redistribution can help, hinder or stand mute as a way to build healthy community or address the issues facing urban communities.
 

Is scripture relevant to a world where the
divide between the rich and poor continues
to grow? Absolutely! Definitely! Yes! This
workshop is ambitious and participantdriven.
It explores biblical issues such as
stewardship, jubilee and redistribution by
looking at practical economic models such as
common purse, microenterprise, economic
development and community economic
development.

What do you really have to know to help
generations move from being given a fish
to learning to fish to owning the pond?
This workshop lays a solid foundation
for engaging in community economic
development. It will explore the connections
between poverty, community development,
outreach and economic justice. This
workshop will be taught using interactive
exercises and case studies. A list of reference
resources will be provided to participants.
