On September 22 in Bangalore, India, ICHE held a workshop to further develop the MA in Global Socio-Economic Issues. The
discussion revolved around ensuring the courses touched upon current and relevant issues, trends and subjects. Dr Ken Gnanakan,
Dr Paul Mohan Raj, Dr Richard Gnanakan, Prof. Sharon Andrews and many others were present.
Later that evening, Dr Willi Brammertz, a world-renowned economist from Switzerland, who was visiting India as
a guest lecturer at St Stephen's College in New Delhi and the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, addressed a gathering
of Christian professionals on "global economic trends and the recent financial crisis from a Christian perspective". The lecture
was targetted at Christians in various professions and was well appreciated, thanks to Dr Willi's insightful analysis and
presentation. This was an ICHE presentation.
