Rhythms of Grace is a unique, innovative and cutting-edge program
resource designed to meet the spiritual needs of children and
families living with autism-spectrum disorders. Participant
families gather monthly with program leaders and volunteers for
sessions that are a hybrid of worship and faith formation. Rhythms
of Grace helps children and their families feel at the center of a
worship/formation experience that is specific to their needs and
circumstances, rather than merely at the margins of even a
conventionally inclusive program of worship or faith formation. The
whole Rhythms of Grace curriculum consists of a 3-year syllabus of
distinct scripture-based session plans. This volume, Year 1,
includes complete plans for 12 monthly sessions and 6 feast
sessions, as well as the background and support material needed to
establish and conduct a successful program.
Struggles for Justice in Canada and Mexico examines Canadian and
Mexican communities engaged in collective action to address
problems related to the context of aggressive capitalism, which
favours economic freedom of the powerful over the needs of people
and the planet. The book's several case examples portray
income-generating projects; action to promote health, adequate
housing, and a safe environment (including resistance to mining);
women's resource and advocacy programs; as well as grassroots
support organizations and independent organizers.The author
gathered stories in six states in the south of Mexico and two
provinces in Canada between 2004 and 2010, with follow-up to 2012.
Thematically, they centre on oppression and struggles for rights
experienced by the poor, women, and Indigenous peoples. The
author's case-study method bolsters her narratives by including
interviews, observation, and some participant-observation, with
analysis that draws on social movement theory from sociology and
community organizing theory from social work as well as knowledge
from social psychology, liberation theology, popular education, and
political science. The book presents the common themes and
illustrates the central theories for practitioners in the many
fields that promote social justice: social work, social
development, health, human rights, environmental protection, and
faith-based justice movements, among others. The conclusion
presents a framework for conceptualizing social justice practice as
a congruent paradigm composed of values, theory, objectives, and
practice methods.
