Rev Adam Snook announces the book he co-edited - 'Living Justice: A Gospel Response to Poverty'

I am excited to announce the Living Justice: A Gospel Response to Poverty, a book that I co-edited with Karri Munn-Venn of CPJ has been released.

"Living Justice: A Gospel Response to Poverty is a book for Christian faith communities trying to live out the justice mandate to love the stranger, the widow, and the orphan, and to seek just relations within society. It is a resource for people interested in learning more about the situation of poverty in Canada, exploring the Christian call to respond, and searching for ways to engage and create change. It includes reflections, discussion questions, activities, and prayers that will provide insight into the situation of poverty in Canada, the challenges and opportunities we face as a society, and actions that we, as Christians, can take. Living Justice takes a fresh look at poverty with theological perspectives representative of various Christian traditions – Anglican, Evangelical, Roman Catholic, Christian Reformed, Lutheran, Mennonite, Presbyterian, and United"

This resource features articles from Greg Paul, Dorothy Valk, Rev Adam Snook, Angela Johnstone, Rebecca Warren, Sr. Priscilla Solomon CSJ, Mary Boyd, Rev Dr. Brice Balmer, Rev Dr. Linda Privitera, Andrew Stephens-Rennie, Sr. Joan Atkinson CSJ, Rev Dr Karen Hamilton and Rev Roy Berkenbosch as well as prayers from Rev. Dr. David Pfrimmer, Rev Annette Smith and Rev Richard Schwass. As an ecumenical worship and action guide on poverty and justice in Canada, our prayer is that this book might encourage dialogue and inspire action in our journey toward the eradication of poverty in Canada.

The book is available online at: http://www.cpj.ca/en/living-justice-gospel-response-poverty for $13.25 (Shipping and Taxes included). All revenues for this resource will further support CPJ's work through the Dignity for All Campaign - a joint initiative co-sponsored with Canada Without Poverty.
