Speaking of Faith® from American Public Media

The Moral and Spiritual Aspects of the Economic Downturn

Over the past few months, we've been exploring the spiritual and moral aspects of the economic downturn and flaws that have been exposed in financial systems. Online and on air, we've generated a challenging, edifying, cross-cultural conversation called Repossessing Virtue. We continue to look for fresh thinking and language for talking about what has happened and why — not just in terms of financial tools and strategies but in terms of personal conscience and values. We're looking for practical resources for individual and communal evaluation and renewal, moving forward from this crisis.

This coming May, we'll be producing a third program, one dedicated to your voices, on the moral and spiritual aspect of the economic crisis. News stories tell us how people's lives are changing in unanticipated and difficult ways. We'd like to hear your stories too, but accompanied by another layer of reflection.
