This year's Summer Series, titled "It's Not Just the Money: Christian Perspectives on the Economy," will feature five public lectures from experts in theology, history, ethics, and social welfare, designed to encourage conversation around some of the deepest underlying assumptions of our economic life and the values we express through it. There will be time for conversation with the experts and with each other, over refreshments, following each service.
