Gerald Darring, a retired high school and college teacher of theology, collects in this book an assortment of articles and talks which he wrote over several decades. There is no thematic continuity to these items, but the thread that runs through them is the vision of a Catholic church involved in the work of justice and peace. The topics include church history, the Mass, the Way of the Cross, prayer, Christian-Jewish dialogue, the Beatitudes, Catholic social teaching, the laity, women, the Good News, John the Baptist, the church, and the following of Jesus.
