Clarification of Thought: The Economy of Francis

 


Join us Monday November 18 at 6 PM as we discuss The Economy of Francis document (found here). The authors hope to "propose a vision that we consider in tune with the radical nature of [Pope Francis'] teachings and the revolutionary nature of Christian faith. We also want to collaborate in creating and demonstrating alternative experiences of living and working that allow us to make use of the goods of nature in ways that respond, not to the logic of the god money, but to our people’s need to live well."

You might also want to check out the Message from Pope Francis on the Occasion of the Fourth World Meeting of Popular Movements (found here) in preparation for the discussion.

No time for reading? Join us anyway!
