Rediscovering Justice: Awakening World Faiths to Address World Issues.

This book developed out of an interfaith conference for youth to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the signing in San Francisco of the charter creation the United Nations, entitled Rediscovering Justice: Awakening World Faiths to Address World Issues. For three intense days, 200 young people, aged 18 to 25, from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, engaged in passionate dialogue on issues of global justice, religious understanding, race, ethnicity, war, and peace. This book is representative of the issues discussed during the conference and includes the presentations given by the major interfaith speakers.

In a postmodern world characterized by cultural relativism, what does it mean to make an ethical decision? What is the link between doing good and being good? Is there a moral consensus among world religions on such issues as peace, human rights, and ecology? Should the moral and religious spheres be separated in civil society?

Ruland S.J., Vernon

Philosophy

A teacher, therapist, and writer, Vernon Ruland here weaves the strands of his remarkable life into a fascinating selfportrait. From the blue-collar parishes of his native Erie, Pennsylvania, to ministries around the world, Ruland traces a life of vocation, service, and discovery. An activist against the Vietnam War, counselor to troubled people in hospitals, prisons, and schools, and distinguished scholar of world religions, psychology, ethics, and philosophy, Ruland takes stock of all these accomplishments. He also reflects movingly on the deep values―as a human being first, then as Christian, Catholic, Jesuit, and priest―that give meaning and mission to his life.
