Justice for the Poor in a Land of Plenty: A Place at the Table
Brady, Judith Ann
Religious Education, v101 n3 p347-367 Sum 2006
This article examines the dramatic increase in poverty in the United States of America. An analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2004 reveals the extent of poverty. The official poverty threshold is lower than what is needed for a person or family to provide for the necessities of life. The effects of poverty on women and children are presented. Respect for persons made in the image and likeness of God requires us to make a place at the table of social decision making for all persons. Educating for justice emerges from Christians' concern to make a better place at the table of life for the poor. (Contains 12 footnotes and 3 figures.)
