This interactive seminar will explore sacred theological texts, your own experiences giving and receiving, the latest empirical findings about charitable practices, and practical tools that will help you create culture change in your ministry setting. The registration fee includes meals, workshop materials, and free parking. Join us for this workshop here on the campus in the Johnson Center.
