City FAVS (Toward a Free and Virtuous Society)

City FAVS conference participants envision a new framework for examining complex problems facing today’s city, built upon a foundation of theological and economic clarity. Participants discuss the application of personal and economic liberty to poverty-centered issues, network with other catalysts in their community, ground discussions in continued emphasis on real-world applications of biblical principles, and develop leadership capacity through the resources offered in each session.

This conference is ideal for pastors, lay leaders, and those working in poverty-alleviating organizations.

FAVS (Toward a Free and Virtuous Society)

FAVS: Toward a Free and Virtuous Society conferences are intensive seminars for religious and business leaders.

These conferences offer an introduction to the moral foundations of personal and economic liberty by combining an in-depth treatment of economic principles with principles of social justice and anthropology. They explore the nature of the human person and the created order from the perspectives of Scripture and natural law, examining concepts such as justice, equality, stewardship, and virtue. In addition, these seminars focus on applying the principles of economic liberty to complex issues such as poverty, welfare reform, and globalization.
