Wisdom on Wall Street
Friday, February 17
noon - 1pm
YMCA on campus / 1001 South Wright Street, Champaign, Illinois
Part of their Spring 2012 Friday Forum series, "Creative Approaches to
Global Development"
Description:
* Rev. Axel Gehrmann, Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign
* The Occupy Wall Street movement has drawn national attention to the
growing disparity of wealth within this country, as well as its moral
and political implications. By reflecting on the actions of the
financial industry during the housing boom and the housing bust, we
may discover that the financial crisis provides both incentive and
opportunity for far-reaching social and moral transformation.The Rev.
Axel H. Gehrmann has served as minister of the Unitarian Universalist
Church of Urbana-Champaign since 1996. He received his Master of
Divinity degree from Starr King School for the Ministry, in Berkeley,
CA in 1988, and has served congregations in Stuttgart, Germany and
Watertown, NY.
