The Great Challenge: Love and Justice

In a swiftly globalizing, money-driven world, is there still a place for St. Francis and a gospel that preaches the dignity and relevance of the poor? This program investigates the concepts of social justice and global responsibility from a Christian perspective. The ill effects of first-world preoccupations with ownership and profit are contrasted with church-sponsored efforts to care for the marginalized of the world: homeless people, illegal aliens, prison inmates, and others who are impoverished, dispossessed, exploited, or too sick to work.
