Description
Co-hosted by Covenant College and the Center for Public Justice (CPJ), join us as we engage in a conversation regarding the growing epidemic of payday lending.
With cash stores typically charging a total of 300-400+% in interest and fees for loans targeted towards lower income families, this is and will continue to be a real issue in today's economy.
Join us for an evening session with a keynote address followed by a panel discussion. Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson will deliver the keynote address as he presents a biblical perspective on payday loans and how we, as Christians, can respond to this growing issue of injustice.
This will be followed by a panel discussion, including panelists:
- Stephen Reeves, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship
- Mark Bowers, The Chalmers Center
- Katie Thompson, Center for Public Justice
Students in attendance receive a free copy of the book.
