WHYS 60: Do religious leaders have a responsibility to side with the Occupy protesters?

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Do religious leaders have a responsibility to side with anti-capitalist protesters? There has been fierce debate over what role religion should have when it comes to the Occupy movement. St. Paul's Cathedral in London and its clerics have been berated by some for missing an opportunity to stand together with the poor and marginalized in society. Is that the role you'd like religion to take? WHYS will be discussing the question from a restaurant in Lagos, Nigeria.
