This symposium was made possible by
th e generosity of Creighton’s Center for
Catholic Thought, as well as the
symposium speakers who were willing to
give of their time.
The goal of this symposium is to
bring together the concerns of faith
values, business, and the common
good. Our hope is to build bridges
between theology and business, the
ethical and practical, the good and
the efficient, and theory and
practice.
