Content:
"The 1985 Kairos Document came as a call to discern the devastating crises apartheid was causing and for the church to understand this as a Kairos moment and a call for conversion and action. Thirty years later Christians and faith communities across the world are facing global apartheid: in growing social and economic inequalities, environmental devastation, the destruction of societies and victimization of the defenseless through endless war and violence, and degradation of human dignity on a global scale are confronted with global apartheid. This book is call to discern these crises and to respond with faithful, prophetic resistance for the sake of the common good. "--
