Acton Institute For The Study of Religion and Liberty
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
The Acton Institute's central mission is to counter what it sees as "the clergy's disturbing bias against the business community and free enterprise," principally by convening three-day conferences for seminarians and divinity students in order to "introduce them to the moral and ethical basis of free market economies."
