innoFaith is a promotion partner for this event put on by our friends at Faith + Finance.
When billionaires are made richer in a pandemic while millions face evictions, we know in our hearts something is wrong. It doesn’t have to be this way. But what are the alternatives? How can we help build a more just and loving economy that works for ALL of us?
Join the Faith + Finance community as we explore how the economy works and how it can become an expression of our deepest values. This series is organized into four sessions that build in succession as we dive deep into what it means to put spirit and ethics into action.
All sessions are free to attend, but you will need to register to access the recordings.

Beyond Rugged Individualism: What is the Common Good?
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific)
Rugged individualism is killing us. From COVID-19 to systemic racism to the climate crisis, the belief that we are islands unto ourselves is a lie. What does it look like to see our lives as interconnected as they really are? How do we begin to reinvest in the common good? Join Anne Snyder, Editor-in-Chief of Comment Magazine, Jennifer Bailey, Founder and Executive Director of Faith Matters Network, Peter Block, author and community development consultant, in a conversation about the role of community in building an economy of interdependence and mutuality. 60 Decibels’ Lindsay Smalling will moderate the talk. This virtual event is part of a free webinar series hosted by Faith + Finance.

The Economy is Not Gravity: Understanding the Choices that Shape Our Lives
Monday, November 15, 12 pm ET
Financial analysts on the news make the economy sound like a force of nature – as though we can try to predict its path but must accept that it is out of our control. In reality, the economy is us. It is shaped by the personal decisions we make every day and the public policies we enact. For those of us who want to see the economy shift towards equity, justice, and love – how can we make choices and wield our influence in a way that will drive necessary change? This session, featuring UK economist Eve Poole and Brookings Institute Senior Fellow Andre Perry, will pull back the veil on how the economy works and point us toward new models for meeting 21st-century challenges.

We Need To Talk About Money: Connecting Faith and Finance
Thursday, Oct 28, 1 pm ET
We were created for more than GDP. Even before the pandemic, Americans struggled to balance the demands of work, family, and life. The challenges of the past year have pushed many of us to – or beyond – our limits. The pandemic laid bare the fault lines of injustice on which so many of our social structures are built and led us to evaluate what matters. We have built our lives in service to the economy, but shouldn’t the economy serve us? How do we construct systems that reflect our deepest values? And what role should communities of faith play?
Be part of this engaging conversation with Otho Kerr of the NY Fed, Amit Bouri of The GIIN, Stephanie Swepson-Twitty with Eagle Market Streets, and Rabbi Elan Babchuck of the Glean Network.
