On December 8, 2016, the Kairos Center hosted Dr. Michael Hudson for a public lecture at Union Theological Seminary. Dr. Hudson is an economist who has studied the history of debt in societies from ancient Babylonia up through today. Earlier in the day, the Kairos Center had a lunch conversation with Dr. Hudson on debt, politics, the Bible, and other issues. The following is an edited and condensed transcript of that discussion.

September 8-10, 2017 marked the 4th Annual Black Hills Unity Concert in Piedmont, South Dakota. The Black Hills Unity Concert has been a gathering of thousands of native and non-native people coming together in the name of cultural reconciliation and environmental restoration. The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival sent a delegation this year, and here the Kairos Center’s Charon Hribar reflects on the experience.

On the same day President Trump and Attorney General Sessions called on Congress to help them move to end DACA, Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival co-chairs Rev.

The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will be in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 7:00 pm at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, kicking off a series of Mass Meetings to be held across the country in the coming months.
