Unity in Action: the Catholic Worker Movement

The Catholic Worker movement, founded in New York during the Great Depression to serve the poor, seek social justice and promote peace through non-violent means, is a prophetic paradigm of church unity already achieved at its most basic level—the Sermon on the Mount. Catholic Workers, many of whom live in community and embrace voluntary poverty, accept and work with all people who seek to alleviate poverty. Operating without any hierarchical mandate, the movement expresses church unity without compromising church teaching—social and theological—at its most fundamental, albeit progressive level.
