Many Faces in God's House

Virgilio P. Elizondo, Jamie T. Phelps, Ph. D., Peter C. Phan

This collection of short reflections explores the culture, customs, and gifts of Hispanic, African American and Asian Catholics. Each group "brings the experiences of a people which, shared around the Lord's table, is the Body of Christ in America," the editors note. "How can our Church find new ways to share these gifts? How can our diverse people work together to promote the common good? Perhaps the first step is to learn more about each other."
