This is one of those rare opportunities to hear someone who you don't want to miss: Dan Hicks speaking on "Money Enough" at the Bath Church, Sun, March 21 at 7:00 pm. "If your eyes glaze over when you see the word 'economics,' or if your eyelids droop when you hear the word 'theology,' don't fear. Doug Hicks integrates economics and theology with such clarity and accessibility that you'll see both in a new light: as vital resources to help us care for our global household with love and wisdom."-BRIAN MCLAREN. Frequently quoted in the
national media, Hicks's research focuses on religion in public leadership, religion in the workplace, and the ethical dimensions of economic issues. Hicks has an M.Div. from Duke University, and an M.A. and a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is a prof of leadership studies and religion at the University of Richmond.
