Liverpool is one of only three partner sites in the UK to link up with Wall Street for a major economics conference.
Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral will join London and Canterbury for ‘Building an Ethical Economy: Theology and the Marketplace,’ which will be beamed live from Trinity Church, New York, via webcast between January 27th-29th 2010. Trinity Church is the parish church for Wall Street.
Speakers include Rowan Williams, The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Partha Dasgupta, Professor of Economics at Cambridge University, Kathryn Tanner, Professor of Theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School, and Bernard Ntahoturi, Archbishop of Burundi.
The conference will explore the relationship between Economics and Christian belief and ask:
Does theology have a role in shaping a new economy?
Theology & Economics: Two Different Worlds?
Is Capitalism a Belief System?
What Is Wealth?
What Do We Owe the Future?
Liverpool participants will be able to put questions to all of the speakers via email during a live Q and A.
Interactive reflection groups throughout the conference will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss what has been said, share their own thoughts and experiences and consider the local implications of the issues under discussion.
All are welcome to attend. Tickets £50 waged, £15 students. For the full programme and more information see www.trinitywallstreet.org/institute
