The concept of "the common good" is central to many religious faiths and goes hand in hand with the Golden Rule of doing unto others as we would want done unto ourselves. Gary E. Maring, a longtime advocate for social justice, explores the concept of the common good in detail in this book, focusing on basic necessities such as a place to live, food to eat, access to education, employment, health care, and human dignity. He includes a a special case study on homelessness in the nation's capital and the role of N Street Village programs for homeless women which Mr. Maring helped found nearly 50 years ago. He also takes our leaders to task, asking questions such as: - Do their policies support the needs of everyone? - Are they acting in the interest of our children and grandchildren? - Do they support the biblical concepts of compassion for the disenfranchised and The Golden Rule, which is common to most faiths? After four years of a Presidency that sought to divide rather than unite Americans, the nation finds itself deeply conflicted but the author sees sprouting seeds of hope for a better future that embraces all Americans. Increased advocacy for justice and the common good will play a central role in forging a better future for all. Join the author as he seeks common ground and ways we can work together to promote the common good through public policy.
