This summer we will be continuing the Unity Works conversation by asking some tough questions and by exploring some challenging books that will help us better understand the issue of poverty, the role of people of faith, and the theological basis for a faithful response to the needs around us.  Below is a list of books that we will be reviewing and reflecting upon.  We encourage you to get a copy and join in the conversation.

We will begin our conversation with “Reclaiming Youth at Risk”
