Mission Film Series: The End of Poverty
August 10, 2014 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
The Justice, Peace, and Poverty Committees of the Mission Board are teaming up to sponsor our Summer Film Festival. The films will be shown after the Courtyard Worship service, with a light potluck lunch.
The aphorism, “The poor are always with us,” dates back to the New Testament. But while the phrase is still sadly apt today, few seem to be able to explain why poverty is so widespread. Presented by the Poverty Committee, The End of Poverty (106 minutes) is a phenomenal discourse on why poverty exists when there is so much wealth in the world. A must-see for anyone wanting to understand, not only the U.S. economic system, but the foundations of today’s global economy.
