A conversation at the intersection of faith, class, and politics as we reflect on our deepest religious and constitutional values and how to ensure a moral, ethical, and just democracy for everyone. In this dialogue, we explore the varied efforts of faith-based organizations working to alleviate the effects of poverty in West Michigan and discuss the proper roles of faith groups, government, philanthropy, and individual action in addressing poverty.
