Description
Marking the centenary of Dorothy Day's birth in 1897, this new edition of Loaves and Fishes makes a modern religious classic available to a new generation. A companion to her autobiography, The Long Loneliness, this is Day's frank and compelling account of thirty years as leader of the Catholic Worker Movement and editor of its newspaper. Blending a journalist's perceptions with emotional commitment and warm humor, she shares experiences amid the abandoned and impoverished, the hopeful and show more idealistic. In the process, she brings to life a host of remarkable personalities, and reveals a life of faith in action. A unique document of American social history, Loaves and Fishes offers powerful testimony to the unswerving faith of a woman dedicated to improving the lot of all people, and creating a viable alternative to the growing ills of a chaotic world. show lessTags

I learned a great deal about the Catholic Worker Movement from this book. Their hearts and minds are in the right place. Such a wealth of both learned and unlearned people involved in this movement! It's easy to see in how this is written and how it has impacted the poor, hungry and homeless in the US. I am not, however, blind to how others who profess to be of one Christian religion or another have taken the side road to wealth on earth. Jesus said it best in Matthew 6:19 and Mark 10:21. The greatest followers of both have been in the Catholic Worker Movement and followed the tenets of the Catholic Worker Movement.
