Pilar Hogan Closkey and John Hogan have brought together the annual
Archbishop Oscar Romero Lectures (2001-2007) to consider the life
and death of Archbishop Romero and the daily struggles of the poor
in our world, especially in the city of Camden, New Jersey-one of
America's poorest cities. Romero's 'dangerous memory' provides the
background, while urban poverty and the option for the poor are the
foreground. Romero's commitment to the poor compels us to look at
ourselves, and the authors of each chapter remind us of Romero's
dangerous memory and his undying hope in the promised future. Taken
as a whole, the book reminds us of the tough questions behind the
real meaning of the 'option for the poor.' Can we as a faith
community and institution move beyond high-sounding slogans and
really opt for the poor? What are the costs? What are the risks?
Especially in these difficult times of war, terrorism, and scandal,
can we in the Church rebuild trust and be a sign of a future of
justice and peace announced by Jesus?

This accessible and stirring book not only introduces readers to
the work of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), the
domestic antipoverty and social justice program sponsored by the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, but also inspires us
to service. With John P. Hogan as our guide, we are invited to walk
with those who serve and those who are served in confronting the
daily reality of poverty as well as the root causes and structures
that cause it. Written with the skill of a journalist and the
passion of a social justice reformer, Credible Signs of Christ
Alive highlights six exemplary CCHD-funded projects that represent
successful joint efforts between the working poor--including
whites, African-Americans, Latin Americans, and a variety of
immigrant groups including, Africans, Asians, Hispanics, and
Russians--and the non-poor. Complete with case studies, reflection
questions, suggested actions, contacts, and optional further
reading, this book tells the story behind the poverty statistics,
mines the hope behind the headlines, and makes real the power of
faith to transform the world.
