Conference Schedule

The conference is comprised of two evening keynote lectures and four roundtable discussions. The opening lecture will provide an overview of the issues at stake, laying the groundwork for the four main topic areas addressed in the roundtable discussions:

• Labour (worker welfare, labour market regulations, etc)
• Capital (financial markets, supervision and monitoring, etc)
• Resources (land use, water supply, energy, sustainability, etc)
• Output or Income (including issues of distribution, global trade, corporate structure etc)

As the main substance of the conference, the participants of each roundtable discussion will be encouraged to make linkages between the different themes. The closing lecture will be a thoughtful summary from two individuals representing the diversity of views among Christians regarding the global economy. These reflections will be oriented both 'backward' in terms of summary and 'forward' in terms of a new research and design agenda.
