DescriptionWhat does it mean to walk between worlds? How do we maintain faith in people, justice, love—anything—in the face of deep inequities? In this essay collection, I explore how race, class, and religion interact with the world of homeless services. Describing my experiences working with homeless individuals in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside my days volunteering in middle-class, Christian circles, I examine how communities today can come to see wealth inequality as both a social and spiritual issue. Blending research with personal narrative, I discuss how systems of homelessness and housing justice intersect with the role that individuals play in breaking and building loving communities.
