Economic justice and a sustainable global society?
At national level there have been two important meetings on this topic in the autumn of 2011. The first was a one day conference at Friends' House on 24 September, and the second was a follow-up weekend of discussions at Woodbrooke on 4th-6th November.
Leicester Quakers have been involved in both. For details, read Angela Walker's report from the two events, in which there are EIGHT QUESTIONS for our local meetings.
Clive Sutton has written a further set of musings and questions about Economics and Faith.

Leicester Quakers and Sustainable Living
How can we make our own life style compatible with care for the planet? This is a concern for many faith communities, and here is a picture from a recent meeting which Leicester Quakers shared with Muslims, on the topic of caring for the Earth.
