Book desription: Philadelphia: Temple University Press. 1991. Hard Cover. 0877227837 . Foreword by Daniel Berrigan, S.J. 285 pages, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj: This biography of Maurice McCrackin, now in his mid-eighties, does more than chronicle one man's story. In an age characterized by corruption in high places, we have come to believe that one person's efforts cannot do much to effect change. McCrackin's example offers us another vision. This Presbyterian minister has devoted his life to building what Martin Luther King, Jr. called 'The Beloved Community' by reaching out to people in trouble and by giving them the support they need to do what needs doing. His story interweaves with many of the crucial social issues of the past 50 years: integration, civil rights, McCarthyism, schooling, the arms build-up, poverty, treatment of prisoners, and homelessness, among others. .
