Description
Circle of Hope: A Radical Mission A community in crisis. A church torn apart by conflicting truths. Pulitzer Prize-winner Eliza Griswold tells the story of Circle of Hope, a Philadelphia congregation that has grown from one family to four congregations over forty years. Its radical mission to fight for progress and social justice has been marked by significant challenges, including struggles with equality, racial discrimination, and the impact of contemporary issues such as MeToo and Black Lives Matter. As the community grapples with its own mistakes and existential crises, Griswold paints an intimate portrait of pastors and church members' desperate search for a way to remain together despite their differences. This is a story of love, growth, and disagreement, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. Through years of deep reporting, Griswold has created a propulsive and layered narrative that explores what it means for a community to stay true to its beliefs in the face of adversity.
