Registration is now online for God and the Global Economy:

April 16-17, 2010

“God and the Global Economy” is a two day conference (an evening and
full day), inviting some of the best thinkers and practitioners in
international political economy and theology to respond to the Pope's
encyclical Caritas in Veritate. These responses will continue to
refine and expand on the dialogue that the Pope has created through
this important document, and bring some of its critical insights—and
problems—into Protestant focus. There will be an emphasis on both
theological and theoretical reflection on the one hand, and policy
development, institutional design and implementation on the other.
