From Friday, July 8 through
Sunday, July 10, the New Economy Coalition will be hosting CommonBound 2016 –
Another World Is Possible. Many presenters
and speakers will be offering ideas and concrete examples on topics ranging across
a wide spectrum of fair and just economics and social order. For those wanting to learn more, please see
the New Economy Coalition website.
I will be attending many
of the sessions of this conference plus the pre-conference activity involving
the role of communities of faith in the creation and application of a fair and
just social-economic system. Some of my
friends and acquaintances have expressed an interest in this conference but for personal reasons cannot attend. For this reason, I've decided to use this
blog to communicate some of the important ideas of the presenters that I heard.
I plan to take notes and then translate them into
ideas/comments in this
format. Perhaps this way, readers can grasp some of the issues and information
being provided during this event. I'll try to update this information
daily. If you have any comments on my postings, please do so. A
little warning may be in order though - Blogs are an informal way of communicating
among people. Therefore, spelling and grammar errors may be encountered.
Please realize that Blogs are meant to communicate ideas and not meant to
be literary masterpieces.

It will be my intention to update my posts as I have time throughout the
conference so for those interested, please frequently check this blog.
