Shortlisted for the 2016 Michael Ramsey Prize Smokey Mountain, the
vast garbage dump in Manila has served for many years as an emblem
of third world squalor - a metaphor for a planet slowly choking on
garbage and waste. But for Fr Beltran, who served for three decades
as a chaplain to the scavengers who survive off this reeking heap,
it is also a metaphor of hope - an emblem of the will to survive,
the ability to create joy and find meaning even in the midst of
abject poverty. Faith and Struggle on Smokey Mountain describes the
spiritual resilience of the scavengers of Smokey Mountain, and how
they taught Beltran to read the Gospel with new eyes. The lessons
he learned bear a message for all who struggle for a better world.
