The Love That Does Justice: Spiritual Activism in Dialogue with Social Service "Spiritual activism" refers to a growing movement of individuals and organizations who cultivate an explicit connection between inner transformation and their work for justice in the world. This book contains statements by 21 of the leading voices in spiritual activism (including our own Mirabai Bush), complemented by 21 statements from well-respected scholars and researchers who reflect together on the phenomenon that Martin Luther King once called "the love that does justice." This unique book provides ideas, inspiration, and support to one of America's most significant emerging social-spiritual movements. |
