Description: The theological, spiritual, and practical meanings of successful faith-based organizations at work internationally, nationally, and locally This study of non-official structures, lay and religious, focuses on little known but enormously effective ecclesial organizations. Hundreds of these transnational Christian organizations are involved in global social engagement that includes • Immigration reform• Affordable housing• Universal healthcare• Retirement security• Food security• Wage equity• Peace in Iraq through economic development• Fair trade• Socially responsible investment • The promotion of peace and democracy• Service to the most marginalized groups• Human rights advocacy• Efforts to reform the structures of global governance. It presents imitable case studies on the international level such as • The International Movement of Catholic Students• The Jesuit Refugee Service and on the national level, such as Network, a Roman Catholic social justice lobby most visible to the public by Nuns on a Bus, and local case studies such as homeless shelters and parish soup kitchens.
