Summary

"We Carry the Fire begins with actions that nurture families and citizenship, fostering present-moment satisfaction through service. This brand of spirituality results in tangible outcomes in the real world: less poverty and better health, the restoration of nature, minimization of inequality, optimization of education and opportunity, and the human spirit improved both qualitatively and quantitatively. The author shows how actively engaging in this direct and concrete work, as opposed to an abstract or elusive feeling of spirituality, provides a profound sense of meaning. As we link our lives with humanity's deepest values and highest hopes with people of every kind, in every place, on every day, all over the world, we experience a feeling of being constructive and in solidarity with others. As congregations are struggling to adjust to contemporary realities, Hoehn brings the passion and knowledge of a pastor, academic, author, activist, grassroots organizer down to earth in real time"--, Provided by publisher
