Poverty Action Committee Webinar - The Spirituality of Systemic Change
2025-10-03 14:00 - 15:00
The Spirituality of Systemic Change St. Vincent often contrasted affective and effective love; that love which moves our hearts with compassion, and that love which moves us to do the work that is needed. In seeking to build “relationships based on love and friendship” with the neighbor, we can’t be satisfied with merely delivering bread and firewood. Instead, like a friend, we seek to walk with the neighbor in their poverty – and out of it. We call it systemic change. St Vincent called it effective love. Learn more about both in this webinar led by Tim Williams, Senior Director of Formation and Leadership Development.
Date: Oct 3, 2025
Time: 02:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
