Faith in Action

Katherine Marshall

Katherine Marshall is senior fellow at Georgetown University's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and Director of the World Faiths Development Dialogue. Her blog, Faith in Action, tracks the activities of people of faith across the globe and across religious traditions. It maps their engagement around critical issues, from global health to the environment -- from AIDS to zebras. It explores the struggles, alliances, and common efforts of people of faith, public and private, local and global. And it highlights how important it is for Americans to look beyond their borders and to appreciate the struggles of the "bottom billion" people in today's globalized world. Her long career with the World Bank (1971-2006) involved a wide range of leadership assignments on issues of international development, with a focus on issues facing the world's poorest countries. From 2000-2006 she served as a counselor to the World Bank's President on ethics, values, and faith in development work. She is the author of several books including "Development and Faith: Where Mind, Heart and Soul work Together." Close.

Marianne Evans:

Certainly, every country, religious and non-religious charity and individual in a position to help should give until it hurts to help the millions of suffering people caught in the complex web of food and fuel supplies. And the Catholic Church should stand down from its intransigent, inhuman and profoundly unrealistic position on birth control, which depriving women in South America, the Philippines and elsewhere of the ability to keep their families to a sustainable size. We have a duty to look to the long term as well as immediate causes of poverty and food insufficiency.
