Income inequality....WWJD?

This coming Sunday we're going to view Richard Wilkinson's TED Talk, "How income inequality harms societies." We watched this a few months ago, but it is worth another viewing.. The data Wilkinson presents is based on his book, "The Spirit Level" which shows the correlations between income disparity within countries and the magnitude of those countries' social ills. It's an amzing set of data. Guess which of world's developed nations is at the top of income inequality, and tops in proportion of its population in prison, and a leader in the rate mental illness among its citizens. Here's a hint: you live there.
The subject of income inequality, together with last week's look at why liberals and conservatives value the things they do, will serve to set up the following week's topic on what Jesus taught about social and economic justice. Hmmm...sounds ambitious, but I bet we can manage it.
Please join us. We'll be delighted to see you.
