I have read the 3 installments and really wish I could read the whole book. I have been a real fan of Dorothy Day and her and Peter's Catholic Worker as I have always felt a separation between being a church Catholic or other religious service goer... rather than expressing faith in actual action rather than the mutual faith back slapping. I just felt the CW method was real faith in action, humanist, personalist, the stuff that Jesus actually asks his followers to do. I am in Syracuse and so, love reading the history with the Berrigan Brothers and the active civil disobedience. When I was young, in the 80's I would go to those protests and attend talks by the nuns and priests from Central America and contribute, buy books etc. I am getting toward retirement now and it seems like things in the US are so much worse now. I fear for our homeless community because I think they will be next after all the undocumented immigrants are taken. We really have to do better.

I wish the book were still available.
