Pan African communities are disproportionately affected by the devastating challenges of hunger and poverty, yet these communities have risen with remarkable faith and resilience to advocate for justice and equity. A Legacy of Faith and Justice sheds light on the untold stories of Pan African people of faith in the global fight to end hunger.
Through vivid storytelling, A Legacy of Faith and Justice highlights Pan African leaders and their critical role in developing and implementing practices and policies to eradicate hunger. Angelique Walker-Smith reveals the passion, leadership, and unwavering determination of these leaders often overlooked in ecumenical and social narratives. She calls attention to their enduring faith as a catalyst for transformation, offering readers valuable lessons on unity, perseverance, and the power of hope. The book also provides a way forward with contributions on contextual and policy trends that advance the agenda of ending hunger, especially in Pan African communities.
This is more than a historical account-it's a call to action. Celebrating five decades of impact through Bread for the World, A Legacy of Faith and Justice challenges us to honor this legacy by reimagining and renewing our commitment to a future without hunger. Essential reading for advocates, faith leaders, and anyone seeking inspiration to fight for a more just and equitable world.
