We are continuing looking at the issues where faith and civic or public life overlap.<\/span> We start with an exploration of the balance between personal charity and state welfare, continue to look at the interface between welfare and crime and then look at the ethics of poverty and welfare.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As usual our speaker\u2019s theme after their address will be considered by a respondent, and then open discussion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
