The Sunday Forum: Critical Issues in the Light of Faith

The Very Rev. Samuel T. Lloyd III, host

Are we winning or losing in our fight against malaria, AIDS, and other deadly diseases around the world? What role does poverty play in the spread of disease, and how can we effectively combat it? Are there “best practices” in international development that all of us can be engaged in? Join Dean Sam Lloyd and global philanthropist and entrepreneur Ed Scott as they examine these issues and explain why poverty and disease in other countries are also America’s business.
