  Reflection

Treasure
Whether we are rich or poor, or somewhere in between, ethical questions arise in relation to how we acquire wealth, the place that it holds in our lives, and how we use wealth. Sandie Cornish* explores these shared ethical challenges by drawing on the thinking of Ignatius of Loyola.
