God’s plan in the beginning was abundance – a good and fruitful world with enough for all to flourish. We know that even as our global population continues to climb, there is more than enough for everyone. The world produces more food per person than it did 50 years ago and per capita income and global wealth have been rising rapidly. And yet 821 million people are suffering from hunger, and 10% of the global population still live in in extreme poverty.
Disturbingly the poorest half of the world’s population have control of less than 1% of global wealth. About the same amount that the world’s richest 147 people. This inequality is not just a global phenomenon, in Australia, despite our material prosperity, the poor and the young are increasingly finding housing unaffordable and 13% of Australians including 739,000 children live in relative poverty (in households on less than 50% of the median income)
