When Dorothy Day died in 1980, many people assumed that the
movement she had founded would gradually fade away. But the current
state of the Catholic Worker movement--more than two hundred active
communities--reflects Day's fierce attention to the present moment
and the local community. "These communities have prospered,"
according to Dan McKanan, "because Day and Maurin provided them
with a blueprint that emphasized creativity more than rigid
adherence to a single model." Day wanted Catholic Worker
communities to be free to shape their identities around the local
needs and distinct vocations of their members. Open to single
people and families, in urban and rural areas, the Catholic Worker
and its core mission have proven to be both resilient and flexible.
The Catholic Worker after Dorothy explores the reality of Catholic
Worker communities today. What holds them together? How have they
developed to incorporate families? How do Catholic Workers relate
to the institutional church and to other radical communities? What
impact does the movement have on the world today?
