I’ll be seeing my friend Sam Gregg during Acton U, which takes place next week in Grand Rapids, MI.
Acton U is run by ACTON INSTITUTE. Hey Fishwrap! That’s ACTON INSTITUTE.
In any event, Sam has a new book, with a delightful title:
For God and Profit: How Banking and Finance Can Serve the Common Good
I look forward to digging into this one. His books are great.
Meanwhile, I was alerted to a piece at the aforementioned Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) that at a confab of the liberal Catholic Theological Society of America Sam’s book was one of the best sellers. heh heh This at a conference which had Sr. Margaret Farley as the keynote speaker, so you can imagine what went on there (… or, given what she advocates, perhaps you shouldn’t). Most of the books mentioned as having sold well were ridiculous, of course, given the crowd. “Theologians”… right? I simply enjoy the fact that Sam’s books did so well. Who knows? Maybe some scales will fall from some eyes!
