Ways of the World

Carol Stone, business economist & active Episcopalian, brings you "Ways of the World". Exploring business & consumers & stewardship, we'll discuss everyday issues: kids & finances, gas prices, & some larger issues: what if foreigners start dumping our debt? And so on. We can provide answers & seek out sources for others. We'll talk about current events & perhaps get different perspectives from what the media says. Write to Carol. Let her know what's important to you: carol@geraniumfarm.org

"Wall Street Dialogues" Jan 18 at Trinity Church

We are pleased – and somewhat daunted! – to tell you that we will appear with Barbara Crafton at Trinity Church, Wall Street, on January 18. In response to the Occupy Wall Street movement, Trinity Institute is conducting a series of five discussions called "Wall Street Dialogues" on successive Wednesdays beginning this coming week, January 11, at 1:00PM. These will tackle current controversies regarding economic inequality, wealth and power and the morality of capitalism. The title for Mother Crafton's and my presentation is "Would Jesus Pay Taxes?" She will interview me on such questions as what might be a "fair share" for the rich to pay in taxes.

Speakers on the other weeks include Professors Gary Dorrien of Union Seminary and Kathryn Tanner of Yale Divinity School, James Copland of the Manhattan Institute and Ben Roberts of Occupy Café, an online discussion site for the Occupy movement.

These events will include some formal presentation and then Q&A with the audience. They are intended to last an hour and will be live-streamed on Trinity's website.

Go to http://www.trinitywallstreet.org/news/features/trinity-institute-presents-wall-street-dialogues for more color.

Join us, if you can, on January 18, or watch on your computer.

Commentary on some of the other presentations will appear here as well, and we also welcome any thoughts you might have on any of these issues.
