One of this month’s recommended books in Kingsway-Lambton's Book Reviews (click on the tab on the Library web page, and read the posting for January 2010) is Shane Claiborne’s The Irresistible Revolution; Living as an Ordinary Radical. Claiborne and others in his Christian community ask questions like, “ How can you worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one on Monday?”
This article from the Christian website, the Wittenburg Door, calls Claiborne “the face of the new monasticism, which includes a very strong solidarity of living with the poor,” and includes an interview with Claiborne.

Claiborne is also a writer for Sojourners, a Christian social justice web site that describes its mission as articulating “the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world.”
