Beyond Transactions: Catholic Social Teaching's Vision for Fundraising - An Episode with Andrew Robison
Join Andrew as he reflects on how Catholic Social Teaching (CST), rooted in Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, fundamentally transforms his approach to fundraising. Andrew shares a bit of the history of CST from Rerum Novarum to the present, and he explores how the CST values of human dignity, justice over charity, and solidarity over transactional relationships affect his work as a development professional. (And, his personal volunteering priorities!)
Show Notes:
Andrew concludes by acknowledging that, while applying CST principles can be challenging, their value to fundraisers is clear. As fundraisers, we invite donors to recognize that their willingness to give funds promotes solidarity and builds God's kingdom here on earth.
