Wealth: Blessing or Burden?
Azim Ahmed hosts an inter-faith panel discussion to examine the spritual, ethical and practical dimensions of wealth.
Throughout history, faith-driven philanthropists, from the Cadbury family to the Aga Khan to the Bloombergs, have given generously to help those in need. But does wealth always lead to generosity? Is it possible to be wealthy and live according to faith values? And in an age of social media influencers and lavish lifestyles, how are young people鈥檚 financial values being shaped?
Azim Ahmed is joined by four guests to discuss the issues: Rhys Parry is a Christian business consultant known as the Money Monk and a trainee Anglican priest. Dr Asif Zaman is a principal lecturer and Head of Department at Cardiff Metropolitan University, with a specialism in Islamic Finance. Dr Gemma Simmonds is a sister of the Congregation of Jesus, Ecumenical Canon of St. Asaph Cathedral and a senior research fellow at the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology in Cambridge. Rabbi Raphael Zarum is a dean at the London School of Jewish Studies and currently holds the Rabbi Sacks Chair of Modern Jewish Thought.
