World Faiths and Development –
papers from the World Bank-World Religions
Meeting at Lambeth Palace, London February
1998
ARC/World Bank/Lambeth Palace, 1998
The first attempt by nine world religions to
look into their own traditions to help
understand the role of economic development.
It offers a sharp critique of contemporary
economics and a surprisingly wide range of
alternative models for development, derived
from over 3,000 years of religious experience
and reflection. Includes the first expression
of the notion of ethnic or national karma by
the now Prime Minister of Mongolia and
International President of ARC. From this
notion arose the idea of the
Asia Buddhist Network. It is the first document that publicly
acknowledges that alongside Islam, Daoism also
bans usury.
