Economy of Communion: Creating a "culture of giving"

Economy of Communion: Creating a "culture of giving"

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Saturday met with participants of a meeting to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of Economy of Communion.

Associated with the Focolare Movement, the project sets up businesses that follow market laws and produce profits “which would be freely put in common.”

Its aim is to help the poor, create jobs, and promote the culture of giving as an alternative to the culture of having.

John Mundell from the United States is one of the first members of the project. Teresa Ganzon from the Philippines helps provide financial services to the poor of the country.
