(1) Friday, September 13, 7-9pm:  A Biblical Inquiry into Economic Justice: Black Wall Street and the Tulsa Race Riot, a Case Study

How do we approach issues of economic justice in a fallen world?  How might Christians think about past injuries of an economic nature?

(2) Friday, October 11, 7-9pm:  A Biblical Inquiry into Pricing:  Understanding Supply and Demand

How do we understand rising prices?  Are rising prices indicative of gouging by opportunistic corporations?  Or the result of general inflation?  How might Christians think about just prices?

(3) Friday, November 15, 7-9pm:  A Biblical Inquiry into Investing: Stocks for the Long Run

How do we provide for ourselves and others when we can no longer work for wages?  Is the idea of financial independence biblical?  How might Christians think about owning public companies?
