Reseña del libro "Many Tongues, one Faith: A History of Franciscan Parish Life in the United States (en Inglés)"
The history of Franciscan parishes in the United States offers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of priests, sisters, and laity attempting to live out their faith amidst the challenges of the nineteenth and twentieth century: religious bigotry, racial and ethnic strife, and cultural and religious change. Readers ofthis work will learn about the friar who persuaded his fellowPolish immigrants to engage in an ill-fated settlement experiment in Texas,leading to the priest's departure from the community under threats of violence. asuccessful effort at Keshena, Wisconsin to minister to the Menominee utilizing catechetical material in the natives' language. one of the first Italian churches in New York City, St. Anthony of Padua, where a multiethnic parish gave rise to disputes over leadership in the community. the parish of St. Lawrence of Brindisi in Los Angeles where the friars ministered to an impoverished community located near theepicenter of the 1965 Watts riots. theserene setting of rural northern Ohio where a Marian shrine has been the siteof dozens of claimed miraculous healings. While the portraits of fourteen Franciscan parishes contained in this work are diverse -geographically, ethnically, and chronologically - they collectively witness tothe distinctiveness of the Franciscan charism of embracing poverty, fosteringcommunity, offering reconciliation, and serving those on society's margins. Theirs is a story of how Franciscan parishes have truly spoken many tongues to build one faith.
