Abundant Communities Conference: Toxic Charity
Robert Lupton, Live Keynote Speaker
Author, "Toxic Charity"
Robert Lupton is an urban activist and the founder of FCS Urban Ministries (Focused Community Strategies) in Atlanta. In his four decades of urban ministry, he has experienced firsthand how our good intentions can have unintended, dire consequences. If we’re not careful, our charity work can have toxic effects on the very people it was meant to benefit.
Learn how to step away from spontaneous, often destructive acts of compassion, toward thoughtful paths to community development. Get the tools and inspiration you need to develop healthy, community-driven initiatives that produce deep, measurable, lasting change.
Let’s make the transition from charity that’s merely transactional, to charity that’s wholly transformative!
