About this title

Synopsis

This is a new title in the Lutheran Voices series. It invites people from varied faith backgrounds to commit themselves to the study of poverty issues. It presents a collection of stories from four different settings that help: define poverty, recognise communities of poverty, explore the hidden culture of class, take a deeper systems view that shows how we are all one community, and includes suggestions for taking action against poverty.
