Wealth, Church, and Leitourgia
Session Description
How did early Christians understand and practice wealth in relation to worship/service and care of the poor? Were worship and care of the poor competing against each other? How did early Christians prioritize both theology and practice? What might this dual prioritization teach us about our worship and care of the poor?
