Financial solutions for the global family

BY ROSALIE E. DUNBAR,

As Nations Continue to grapple with financial crisis and recession, working together has become an important approach to a complex issue. The G20 nations, which had their first group meeting last November, are continuing to hold smaller gatherings until the next group session, which is planned for April. While the core of seven developed countries (the G7) will continue to be important, the inclusion of up-and-coming nations such as Brazil, India, Turkey, South Africa, China, and others is a step of progress.

Banking, manufacturing, and so many other sectors of the world's economy are interdependent. All have a part to play in preserving the world's economic health. And people who pray have an important role as well.

In her writings, Sentinel founder Mary Baker Eddy commented on the "human family" in several places, and the chapter titled "Peace and War" in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, offers many ideas for global prayer. In one place she wrote: "Through the wholesome chastisements of Love, nations are helped onward towards justice, righteousness, and peace, which are the landmarks of prosperity. In order to apprehend more, we must practise what we already know of the Golden Rule, which is to all mankind a light emitting light" (p. 282).
