Inequality and the Common Good
Inequality
and the Common Good
Friday 23rd January 2015
LSE Faith Centre, London School of Economics
No system is perfectly equal, so when
does inequality become exploitation? What does our status quo say about
moral priorities and uses of power? This event and documentary screening
in partnership between St Paul's Institute, St Mary-le-Bow Church, JustShare,
and the London School of Economics Faith Centre will consider issues of
inequality from a global perspective and consider how systemic failings can be
overcome.
Organised to coincide with the 2015 Trinity Wall Street Institute conference
entitled 'Creating Common Good: A Practical Conference for Economic Equality' -
the event will include a live-stream conference session from New York with
Archbishop Justin Welby, along with a screening of the documentary 'Inequality
for All'.
The afternoon is split into two sessions that will be taking place at the London School of Economics (with separate ticket registrations):
14.30 - 17.00 Live-stream of Trinity Institute conference
session: 'Is Inequality Sinful?'
(Room NAB 1.04 - New Academic Building)
The Most Rev. Justin Welby, Archbishop
of Canterbury
Panel (via web-cast): The Rt. Rev. Julio Murray, Rachel Held Evans, Jennifer Jones Austin, R.R. Reno
Post-stream Discussion led by: Prof. John Hills, Department of Social Policy LSE; Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE)
17.30- 20.00 LSE
Screening of the documentary film 'Inequality for
All'
(Room NAB 2.04 - New Academic Building)

Centre, with further details circulated to those who register.
