The Church

by Chiara Lubich

Overview

In our contemporary world, many people ask, "What purpose does the Church serve? What does it do?" Chiara responds with a concept that is emerging more and more also in ecumenism, namely, that the Church has the task, within humanity, of being a catalyst for unity. And it can be this because it draws its life from God who is Love.

Editorial Reviews

At a time when there is so much animosity between political parties, among communities and, yes, even in the Church, this book is a helpful reminder of what all people of good will are ultimately called to by our Creator: unity. The genius of Chiara Lubich's Focolare Movement, with its emphasis on living the gospel in a radical way of love, is captured here in Lubich's writings and speeches.
