the occupy movement continues to pose significant challenges to unjust economic and political systems throughout the world; the movement has shone light on domination systems of all kinds, including religious ones; many people of faith understand just how difficult it is to see through the illusions and subtleties of the system; when we try to challenge it, it pops up hydra-like elsewhere, or more disturbingly, in our very midst: the implications are clear - at its heart, the massive problems we face in the world are spiritual; thus if we choose to respond to the challenges of the modern day prophetic movement of occupy, we are invited to do so in an ecology of ways: though prayer, meditation, liturgy, stories, art, reflection and theological debate; this book offers people a few resources to enable a response to domination that leads to right awareness, right thinking, right action, and with God's help, right living.
