Bread, Bricks, and Belief: Communities in Charge of Their Future (Kumarian Press Books for a World That Works)

Mary Lean shows how ethics and spirituality have made a significant impact on community development in post-industrial cities and in the villages of developing countries.

Readers enter poor cities and villages to meet Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh leaders who, with their driving spirit, seed the community with their energy and vision. Readers see how these efforts take root, steadily changing the cultural and economic life of these once-despondent and declining communities.
