Doing Virtuous Business: Ted Malloch, Geoff Moore and a documentary

19th September 2011, 14:00 to 17:00, Prior’s Hall, Durham Cathedral

Doing Virtuous Business is a documentary project presented by PBS. This one-hour program takes a modern look at ancient virtues once studied by Aristotle and many of the great minds in spiritual history and  then examines how these deeply respected concepts and beliefs are practiced within a modern business environment. 

The event will take the form of a debate with Ted presenting his ideas and the documentary and Geoff responding. The debate will then be open to questions and contributions from the floor.
