Scenario

When religious communities debate their role in economic development

My church wants to establish a community loan fund to help members start small businesses but some people are worried we will become a bank and lose our spiritual focus while others think this is exactly what faith requires.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Expanding organizational mission into financial services forces communities to reconcile spiritual identity with practical intervention in members' material lives.
