Book Overview
In his encyclical Sollcitudo rei socialis ("On Social Concerns," 1984) Pope St. John Paul II wrote of "structures of sin" and how Christian solidarity held the key to confronting them. In Structures of Grace Kevin Ahern profiles successful Catholic organizations from around the globe that embody Christian solidarity by addressing the urgent human issues of our day: immigration and human rights: healthcare and housing; food, agriculture, and water; war, peace, and reconciliation. In telling the stories of organizations such as Jesuit Refugee Service, the Young Christian Workers, Plowshares, and Network, Dr. Ahern sheds light on the mission, theology, and outreach of hundreds of such organizations, offering church professionals, students, educators, and volunteers a directory of grace at work in the world today.
