Disrupting Homelessness unmasks the futile assumptions of our
present approaches to homelessness and suggests ways in which
Christians and Christian communities can create a prophetic social
movement to end poverty and homelessness. The American dream, as
conveyed by the media, includes owning a home. Increasingly, people
are homeless or precariously housed because of joblessness,
foreclosure, or dislocation. Ecclesial responses to homelessness
and housing vary. Some Christian organizations focus on fixing the
person and the behaviors that contribute to homelessness. Others
promote home ownership for low-income households. Employing a
disruptive Christian ethics, Laura Stivers criticizes both
approaches, outlines an advocacy approach for churches to address
the multiple causes of homelessness, and calls us to make a home
for all in God's just and compassionate community.
