Faith, Fairness and Taxes

Event details

Date: Monday, March 18, 2013
Time: 12:00 PM
Location: Rooms 401 B & C, Benson University Center
Description: The keynote speaker for this event is Susan Hamill from the University of Alabama School of Law.

In light of the debate over tax reform in the state and the nature of current proposals that would significantly shift the tax load to low- and moderate-income North Carolinians, this forum aims to share a new perspective on the issue of taxes and fairness that is rooted in faith and morality. By discussing how the faith tradition would intervene in this tax policy debate, forum participants will be informed and mobilized to share information within their networks. The discussion will focus around these questions: What is the faith case for fair taxation? Who would Jesus tax? How can faith communities mobilize in the current state tax debate?

Lunch will be provided; RSVP required: ipe@wfu.edu
Sponsor: Institute for Public Engagement, School of Divinity, North Carolina Council of Churches, North Carolina Justice Center
