It is the task of the church to proclaim a hopeful imagination for the world. That was the overriding message of Faith and a Sustainable Economy, a forum held by the Canadian Council of Churches in Ottawa in May. The forum was hosted by the council’s Commission on Justice and Peace, and the day was composed of three panel discussions: community and policy, theology, and churches. There were economic and ecological updates to give context to the discussion of current issues facing the world and the Church. There were theological dissections of the role to which the Church is called in this time of global uncertainty and transition. And there were challenging reflections from church leaders, grounding change optimistically in spiritual formation, deep biblical reading and an abiding sense of human dignity.
