Weaving Relationships : Canada-Guatemala Solidarity. by Kathryn AndersonPublication Date: 2006-01-01
Weaving Relationships tells the remarkable, little-known story of a movement that transcends barriers of geography, language, culture, and economic disparity. describes the historical roots of this solidarity focusing on the Maya in Guatemala. It presents solidarity not as a work of charity apart from or "for" them but as a bond of mutuality, of friendship and common struggle with those who are marginalized, excluded, and impoverished in this world. This book speaks of a spirituality based on community and justice, and challenges the church to move beyond its preoccupation with its own survival to solidarity with those who are suffering.
