Description:James D. Kirylo gives a personal and reflective account of what it means to be a Catholic teacher, drawing on the rich history of the Church and its inclusive nature through ecumenical, interfaith, and interreligious dialogue, along with the Church’s social teachings and its link to liberation theology and a critical pedagogy in the light of faith. The book provides a critical guide for Catholic teachers in how to engage in reflective practice to discover teaching as a vocation in service of the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed. Kirylo covers how faith should inform the practical matters of teaching and how these intersect with broader debates outside the classroom, including climate change, euthanasia, abortion, gay marriage, the death penalty, gun control, and animal rights. The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love, is a book that underscores the dialectical interweaving of faith and action in the effort to foster a more just, loving, and right world.
