Economics and Christian Ethics What is a myth?

Economics and Christian Ethics What is a myth? It is NOT a fairy tale, a story for children that adults know is not true It IS an important way in which groups of people interpret their history and their beliefs. A myth says something about the world, and our relationship to it, that we believe to be true in a fundamental way

Economics and Christian Ethics What are some myths in our lives? ◦ ◦ ◦

Economics and Christian Ethics Small Group Scripture Exercise Pick one passage, and one person read aloud Go around the group, and answer: ◦ What personally speaks to me in this passage? Go around the group again, and answer: ◦ How could the meaning of this passage impact how I live my daily life? Go to next passage (if time) Be prepared to share 1 or 2 insights with group Total time in groups: 20 minutes

Scripture Passages Luke 9:57-62: The cost of following Jesus Mark 10:17-27: The parable of the rich young man Matt 25:34-46: The story of providing for "the least of these” Luke 16:19-31: The story of the rich man and Lazarus Prov 28:27: Command to give to the poor Luke 6:24-25 & 30: Contrast of earthly and heavenly rewards Matt 13:44, 45: Parable of Hidden Treasure and Parable of the Pearl of Great Value I Tim 6:6-10: Temptation vs. contentment Ex 20:17: Thou shalt not covet II Cor 8:1-15: Encouragement to give generously

Economics and Christian Ethics What does church tradition tell us about how we should conduct our economic lives?

How, Then, Should We Live? Hard to find absolute answers, short of Christ himself ◦ Paper vs. plastic ◦ Paper towels vs. electric hand dryers ◦ Livable wages for workers vs. saving money for your family We can’t solve global issues on our own…. …but we can have rules or yardsticks What are some ideas?
