The theological, spiritual, and practical meanings of successful faith-based organizations at work internationally, nationally, and locally

This study of non-official structures, lay and religious, focuses on little known but enormously effective ecclesial organizations. Hundreds of these transnational Christian organizations are involved in global social engagement that includes

Immigration reform

Affordable housing

Universal healthcare

Food security

Wage equity

It presents imitable case studies on the international levels such as The International Movement of Catholic Students and The Jesuit Refugee Service and on the national level, such as Network, a Roman Catholic social justice lobby most visible to the public by Nuns on a Bus, and local case studies such as homeless shelters and parish soup kitchens. Structures of Grace shows how these church organizations work and why they are one of humankind's best hopes for a better world.
