Publisher's Description
Called to work on social justice in the church in the early 1960s, Paul Kittlaus tells his story of defining the issues for his time, finding colleagues who would be trusty companions on a rather rough path, learning and teaching skills for social change, and empowering both clergy and laity to define their faith in terms of justice for those who are poor and marginalized. He also calls to the church of today to place social change and justice at the center of its ministry.

“Organizing Justice Church is a superb memoir of an extraordinary life and an eloquent call for church reform. Drawing on his deeply personal experiences of love, loss, and personal challenge, Paul Kittlaus urges church institutions to work harder and smarter at understanding and helping resolve the manifold injustices that exist domestically and internationally. The life and lessons of Paul Kittlaus will be valuable to those who live a traditional religious life as well as those who see (or want to see) the hope a spiritual impulse can provide.”
“This is a story of commitment, conviction, and courage lived upfront, personal, and boldly before the powers and principalities of injustice. The result is justice made visible in the heart, the church, the nation, and world. Paul Kittlaus’s story is a reminder that change is possible when you are willing to step out in faith, at times with a broken body and sometimes crushed spirit, but always a belief that transformation and newness is possible.”
