The Crucible of Racism: Ignatian Spirituality and the Power of Hope
“An urgent, vivid, accessible—and important—invitation to confront racism using the practical tools of Ignatian spirituality.” —James Martin, SJ, author, Learning to Pray"Patrick Saint-Jean in this powerful book does not settle for moral outrage, but holds out for moral compass. He doesn't shake his fist, but invites us to roll up our sleeves. He doesn't just point something out, he points the way. Therein lies the hope of his message. It is a light we can see by.” —Gregory J. Boyle, SJ, Founder, Homeboy Industries“Patrick Saint-Jean brings his whole self to the essential, Gospel work of antiracism. Through his reflections, we, too, grapple with the need to critically reflect on our own role in the building up or tearing down of the reign of God in our world.” —Eric A. Clayton, deputy director of communications at the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States“An important contribution to our understanding of the interaction of religion and racism.” —Thomas J. Reese, SJ, Former
