"Perspectives on Social Justice: The Moral Challenge of Inequality for Communities of Faith" is the topic for public discussion on Thursday, March 24, at 4 p.m. in the James J. Johnson Auditorium. The event is free of charge, and there will be a reception offering tea and cookies following the discussion.

As part of the Tea and Ethics program sponsored by the Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values at Coastal Carolina University, the panel will include the Rev. Cheryl Adamson of Palmetto Missionary Baptist Church, Rabbi David Wiseman of Temple Shalom, and Samih Baalbaki, who was born and raised in Lebanon and spent 17 years in the Middle East before retiring to America in 2012. The panelists will discuss how communities of faith react or should react to the economic inequality in our society. Their presentation will last approximately 45 minutes, leaving a 15-minute period for discussion with the audience.

This presentation is the third in a series of discussions on social justice.

Tea and Ethics is a forum that inspires individuals to make ethical and value-based decisions. The Jackson Center aims to create opportunities for open conversations about how ethics and values affect the individual, the University, the region and the world.

Johnson Auditorium is in Room 116 of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration Building, located at 119 Chanticleer Drive E. on the Conway campus.
