    Acton has been blessed with a wonderful building in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids where we host dozens of events each year. Despite our presence in this community, most of Acton’s constituents live outside of West Michigan. If you’re one of those individuals, there are plenty of ways to engage with the institute or share Acton’s mission and message in your own community. Our online PowerBlog (blog.acton.org) features new blogposts daily, but you can also keep up with Radio Free Acton, a podcast featuring engaging videos and interviews about current events dealing with the intersection of faith and economics. There are videos of nearly every Acton Lecture Series and evening speaker, as well as videos of Acton analysts appearing on local and national news broadcasts. You can also subscribe to Acton at subscribe.acton.org. There, you can sign up to receive our bimonthly publication, Acton Notes, our weekly email, Acton News and Commentary, an RSS feed to Acton’s PowerBlog, or if you haven’t already, this quarterly magazine. Thanks to our generous donors, these subscriptions are free. If you’re familiar with our work and want to introduce a friend, you can do that at acton.org/webform/refer-friend. 

    Seminarians and pastors might also be interested in the Journal of Markets & Morality. This peer-reviewed academic journal is published twice a year—Spring and Fall—and promotes the intellectual exploration of the relationship between economics and morality from both a social science and a theological perspective.

    If you’re interested in live events, Acton hosts lectures and gatherings nationwide featuring nationally recognized experts on faith and policy issues, including Rev. Robert Sirico. Be sure to visit our events page online or at the back of the latest issue of Acton Notes.

    If you’re familiar with an Acton produced documentary or video series and want to share it with your peers, consider hosting a screening in your hometown. For information about screening the PovertyCure Video Series or Poverty, Inc., you can email [email protected]. To learn more about hosting For the Life of the World, you can email [email protected], or if you’re interested in leading a bible study and want to purchase leadership products, email [email protected].
