Invoking: Globalization and Power

Timothy Jarvis Gorringe

Globalization started in the early 1500s because of a desire for wealth.

The Four Faces of Globalization.

  1. Development. After WWII, development was a buzz word and institutions (the IMF and the World Bank) were set up to help the underdeveloped nations. It has not worked as planned. The poor have gotten poorer (as a percentage of global income).
  2. Trade. 
  3. Finance Capital. Bankers make money without any real production or changes.
  4. McDonaldization. 

Three Eucharistic Snapshots. Three examples of communities. <Not sure why this section was included.>

Two Theologies. Christian theology compared to the theology of globalization. <Interesting points.>

Invocation.
