In the midst of global economic uncertainty, Faith and Your Money is a timely forum that you don't want to miss. Led by theological educator and author, Ched Myers, Faith and Your Money will explore the ways we invest, spend, give, and yes, even waste our money.

Myers will lead us in a thought-provoking discussion about Jesus' teachings and the urgent need to act for local and global economic justice. Divided into three distinct sessions, beginning Friday evening with Jesus, Money and Justice and culminating with the Sunday morning sermon, Myers will enlighten and challenge us as we explore our beliefs and habits about money.

Don't miss this opportunity to evaluate your own perception of money and what it means to make socially responsible investments in both our local and global communities.

Reviews

Binding the Strong Man
A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus

"This is, quite simply, the most important commentary on a book of Scripture since Barth's Romans… Like Barth's Romans, Binding the Strong Man is not only a tour de force as a commentary and interpretation, but it marks the watershed of a new theological era, one that has been gathering force for some time in liberation, feminist, and black theologies… I see Myers' work as a sort of continental divide marking the coming of age of the resistance church in North America, and the harbinger of a theological renaissance."
    Walter Wink, Author of The Powers That Be

Who Will Roll Away The Stone?
Discipleship Queries For First World Christians

"A major contribution to the theology of discipleship for first world Christians. Grounded in the Gospel of Mark, with frequent references to Myers' other Markan study, Binding the Strong Man, the book identifies and analyses key discipleship issues and challenges disciples ruthlessly… The effort to study the book — its discrete sections and its overall architecture — rewards the reader with insight not only into the concrete practice of discipleship, but also into a useful theological method based on query… Myers adapts the methodology of liberation theology to first-world Christians… He integrates the historical moment, Scripture, reflection upon these two realities, including their implications for praxis, and he does this in the context of the United States at the Millennium."
