Small Change, Big Deal. Money as if people mattered. Money is about
relationship: between individuals and between communities. Small is still beautiful - as microcredit shows.
As we consider the plight of our consumer-driven economy, it is easy to forget that money is about relationship: between individuals and between communities. In our current financial mess, it is worth reminding ourselves of community-based alternatives, and to look closely at microcredit, a model of peer lending to enable people to move out of poverty.

The World Is Our Cloister. The dedicated religious life of
monks and nuns has a fascination for many of us-at a distance. We live in the world we have, and it’s hard to figure out how to do it in a God-filled way. The World is Our Cloister is a guide to
living the devotional life, not behind the walls of a monastery, but in the world. It’s about engagement in the world as well as withdrawal, the balance between a life of action and one of
contemplation; how to be in the world but not of it.
