Exploring the Connection between Religious Faith and Corporate Law

Gordon Smith announces:

The Conglomerate will be hosting an online symposium of scholars who will address the topic, "Exploring the Connection between Religious Faith and Corporate Law." This online symposium was prompted by a live Roundtable held in April at the Holloran Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions, University of St. Thomas. Lyman Johnson organized that Roundtable, and he will kick off our discussion tomorrow. I hope you will feel inspired to participate.

The forum can be accessed here. Although I'm not participating in the forum, I expect to comment on some of the posts as it goes along. As regular readers know, this has been an area of considerable academic interest on my part for a long time, including such works as:
