Urban Meditations: $20.00 (includes postage and handling)
Urban Meditations is an outcast political theology and 40-year reflection by Boston advocates, Kip Tiernan and Fran Froehlich. As self-styled urban ministers, Tiernan and Froehlich have been sheltered by Old South Church for the past 44 years. They have advocated access to justice for nearly half of a century while doing the work of direct assistance to those in need. This urban reflection with spiritual overtones includes articles, meditations, and essays relating to human rights. Tiernan (founder of Rosie’s Place and the Greater Boston Food Bank) and Froehlich founded several Boston non-profits including the Poor People’s United Fund, Community Works, The Boston Women’s Fund, and Health Care for the Homeless. Money from the sale of the book will continue to help run this supportive urban ministry.
