Inhaltsangabe

This biography of Maurice McCrackin, now in his mid-eighties, chronicles how one manas story interweaves with many of the crucial social issues of the past fifty years: integration, civil rights, McCarthyism, schooling, the arms build-up, poverty, treatment of prisoners, and homelessness, among others. As pastor to various congregations throughout the midwest, McCrackin chose social change as his mission and addressed international issues in his sermons in order to make connections between the global and the personal. As an active participant in the Fellowship of Reconciliation, he found ways to inject pacifism into the daily activities of a poor Cincinnati neighborhood. An effective leader and negotiator, his ability to achieve integration within his environment was due to his understanding of collaboration and mutual empowerment as well as his gentleness and good humor. From World War II through recent liberation struggles in Central America, tumultuous events provided a stage for Maurice McCrackinas ministry. Building the Beloved Community details the terrible price Reverend Maurice McCrackin paid for his peace and civil rights activismdefrocking, public vilification, numerous jailingsand the widespread honor and vindication he has earned in recent years for his lifetime of service. Author note: Judith A. Bechtel is Associate Professor of Literature and Language at Northern Kentucky University. Robert M. Coughlin is Associate Professor of English at Lakeland Community College in Mentor, Ohio.

Cr�ticas

"Bechtel and Coughlin make clear that McCrackin's life has been dedicated to 'Peace and Civil Rights.' It is a dedication emblazoned in bedrock, as unmovable as a mountain. Their book lifts up in an effective manner the best of the human spirit and experience as it was lived out by one man who stuck to his commitments and values in the face of considerable political and social opposition. Such a story is a valuable gift to any and all who care about the truth and its future." --Patrick G. Coy, National Chair, The Fellowship of Reconciliation--USA
