Another compelling offering from the Faith and Money Network. Thank you to Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries for passing this along.

Do you ever wonder about how early church thinkers viewed wealth and poverty? Have the messages on stewardship that you’ve heard from the pulpit sounded contradictory to Scripture — or have you not heard many messages from church leadership on money at all?

If you’re curious to learn more on your journey of connecting your financial decisions with your faith, we invite you to join us for a live webinar: Scandalous Money with Miguel Escobar.

Escobar is an author and director of strategy and operations at Episcopal Divinity School. His book, The Unjust Steward: Wealth, Poverty, and the Church Today, explores Christianity’s complicated and conflicted relationship with money. He will join us for a live Zoom webinar on Wednesday, April 24, from 7:00-8:30 pm Eastern.

In this webinar, Escobar will introduce participants to the themes of his book:

• A brief discussion of the parables that form the triptych in the Gospel of Luke
• An explanation of how Escobar’s experiences as a son of migrant laborers shapes his perspective on the gospel
• An introduction to the scholarly idea that this is Luke’s presentation of a statement on wealth, poverty and generosity
• An open conversation about how participants relate to the text: What is surprising to you? Have you ever thought about the Prodigal Son as a reading about generosity?

Registration is free, but seats are limited, so don’t hesitate.
