A few Great Evangelists – Part Two – Dorthy Day

A few Great Evangelists – Part Two – Dorthy Day June 23, 2009


Dorthy Day was a Journalist who after a spiritual awakening turned her experience in publishing to spreading the Gospel through a magazine called “The Catholic Worker.” In it she inspired people with the message of Social Justice found in the scriptures, and in the church. This grew into a “house of hospitality” in the slums of New York City and then a series of farms for people to live together communally. The movement continues to grow around the world combining direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. Although she is being considered for sainthood she once said “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.”
