WEA Secretary General Thomas Schirrmacher is a member of the report’s advisory committee while Dr. Chris Elisara was retained by the WEF to do survey research, write case studies, and provide other input and advice for the report. Several of the case studies are Christian, including one focusing on the Transformational Business Network founded by Dr. Kim Tan, who spoke at the recent WEA Future of the Gospel Forum.

The next phase in the “Faith in Action” project is to host faith and business conversations throughout 2024.

We bring you an invitation from our friend and partner Chris Elisara to do just that!

Chris writes on his involvement with World Economic Forum’s upcoming report entitled Faith in Action. Slated for release at the annual meeting in Davos in January 2024, the report aims to ‘…showcase the value of partnerships between faith-based organizations and businesses for the common good’. The report further aims to engage multi-stakeholder faith partners in addressing global challenges and encouraging transformative collaborations with businesses, governments, and philanthropy.

To gather insights for this report, Chris is inviting individuals engaged in collaborative creation care initiatives, regardless of their role (Christian organization, business, government, or non-religious nonprofit), are invited to participate in a survey! In so doing, that would ‘….inform the transformative multi-stakeholder partnerships we need between creation care organizations and businesses to help solve our common problems.’

To learn more and take the survey, please visit: www.weforum.org/projects/faith-in-action. Please share the initiative and survey with your colleagues and networks! Note that the deadline for this is 15^th September, 2023!

PS. Given his passion for “Thriving Cities” (one of the report’s seven business factors), Chris offers a special call out to those particularly, ‘working on collaborative urban focused projects’ to participate!
