The "signs of the times" today seem over whelming to speak of death, not life. in such a world, the author says the followers of Jesus must "make known and live the reality that the God of life chooses, with passionate love, to be alongside those eho have been cast aside". Drawing on his long experience with people, groups and communities who have been made poor, Kenith David explore five "visible signs of invisible grace", wich illustrate tghe binding togethe with God of those who are crushed by the powers and identity, and the vision of the "new dawn". These, he says, are sacraments rediscovered in struggle -realities that enable the crushed and downtrodden to make sense of their pain and to steive towards fullness of life and the reign of God.
Sacrament and struggle: the angle of vision. Signs of the times. Sign, symbol and sacrament. Witness as struggle. (Re)discovering sacraments in struggle. Sacrament of life. Sacrament of land. Sacrament of name-identity. Sacrament of "the dawn of a new age". ...in the perspective of the reign of God.
