  • Are we living in a material world?
  • Do those who believe in the spiritual have any answers to the moral problems that wealth and poverty bring?

At the Wealth and Poverty Learning Day in Manchester you will have the opportunity to find out the beliefs of Christians, Jews and Muslims and discuss the following questions:

  • Is it wrong to be rich when so many people are poor?
  • Is there too much poverty for us to be able to do anything about it?

Following the learning day, we would like students to present their ideas and beliefs along with the religious beliefs and actions they have discovered, in an imaginative format (video or other presentation), to be used on our website.
