The SEC is a national, membership-based network that encourages cooperation and communication among theologians, economists and activists who are working with contemporary issues of faith and economic justice. We are committed to:

• Proclamation: Developing and promoting an economic reading of the Bible and a biblical reading of the economy with a focus on the theological basis and political implications of the Jubilee/Sabbath tradition for our time;

• Pedagogy: Resourcing the work of economic literacy and popular education around domestic and global issues of economic justice in the faith communities;

• Practice: Networking among faith-based experiments in alternative economic discipleship at all levels of the economy and society.

The SEC hosts annual conferences, trainings, conversations, and workshops; promotes such collaborative efforts as joint research, publications and educational designs and resources of members. Our next conference will be held in Durham, NC, in the fall of 2008. Check back to this webpage to get more information about specific conference dates, theme, speakers, workshops, etc.

The primary communication vehicle is this dedicated website. Check back often for new updates. Questions: e-mail us: info@sabbatheconomics.org.
