Jim Wallis, well-known justice advocate and author, has stated that
the two great hungers in the world today are for spirituality and
social justice. Although social work and related fields have
increasingly recognized the importance of addressing spirituality
within clinical practice, less attention has been paid to the role
of spirituality in promoting social justice or supporting social
change within macropractice. The contributions in this edited
collection highlight current developments in this area, including
emerging conceptual frameworks, practice applications and research
findings. Theoretical approaches to understanding the link between
spirituality and justice are explored in analyses of alternative
models of social justice and justice orientations of major faith
traditions. The critical role of spirituality in larger system
change is illustrated through exemplars of research on vulnerable
populations, community practice, legislative advocacy, development
of social movements, and ecological social work. The importance of
including content on religion and spirituality in professional
curricula is explored through research on students' attitudes
toward spirituality and social advocacy. Noting the resonating
themes within all of these contributions, the volume concludes with
an overview of emerging principles for spiritual activism. This
book aims to stimulate further development in the vital connection
between spirituality and social justice. It was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Religion &
Spirituality in Social Work.
