| Summary: | The SDC’s report ‘Redefining Prosperity’, published in 2003, exploded the myth that, above a certain threshold, more money makes us happier. The report kick-started the policy debate on alternative measures of well-being, and, as one of a series of five seminars, the SDC invited UK faith leaders to explore sustainable development within their faith communities. This report attempts to show the multiplicity of initiatives taking place across the UK, and points the way forward for other faith groups who share a concern for social justice and environmental issues. |
