LOCATION:   Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Long Hall, Room 210

 

The Office of Continuing Education is excited to offer a free lecture in conjunction with the annual gathering of the Presbyterian Social Ethics Network at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Rebecca Todd Peters, professor of religious studies and director of the Poverty and Social Justice program at Elon University, will be the presenter for this social ethics event.

The lecture topic will be, "Solidarity Ethics: Transformation in a Globalized World," based on material from her most recently published book of the same title (Fortress Press), in which Todd Peters argues for an ethic of solidarity as a new model for how people of faith in the first world can live with integrity in the midst of global injustice and shape a more just future.
