About the Book

Ending the scandal of world poverty is the cause of the century. In recent decades, two other issues have joined it in urgency: the environment and AIDS. Not participating in efforts to resolve these is to live at the margins of unfolding history. Coming from a life at the front line, O'Halloran shows a deep concern for these issues. His experience has been in justice and peace, community, and education. He found that his involvement in justice led him to the inevitable conclusion that community is the ground of being for justice. Without community, there can be no justice, and education gives us the awareness to realise this. The author here shares thoughts on justice and peace, community, education and a raft of related topics in a highly readable fashion. He doesn't necessarily expect people to agree with his views, but hopes all will be motivated to think seriously about these grave issues. Further, out of his involvement in justice and peace, community, and education, O'Halloran found that a spirituality emerged. The motivating factor for him was his Christian faith, but the spirituality emerging was a spirituality of love, and no one has a monopoly on that. So he hopes that people of all creeds and none will clothe what he is saying in the language of whatever gives meaning to their lives. Intermingled with the prose pieces are fascinating poems, stories, and quotes by various writers that in some way re-echo the foregoing message.
