National economy is a "pyramid scheme" ?

The United Church Moderator, The Right Rev. David Giuliano, has written a statement to all Canadians the total text can be found here.

Coverage of this has hit the national papers as shown by this article from the Calgary Herald.

Quoted from the article... "Giuliano said Canadians can’t simply shop their way to renewed prosperity. That would simply perpetuate what he sees as an economic system “that’s a crumbling pyramid scheme that rewards those on top and devours everyone and everything below.”"

He has also written a Pastoral Letter to all of us in the church "calling us to be church in riskier ways than we are used to."

"As church, we can do more for our neighbours together. We are surrounded by countless others of faith and goodwill. God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks be to God."

I thank God we have a strong voice in our current leader.
