This incredible resource is meant to serve as a handbook for Catholic and Christian organizers to better use discernment -- a core tool for spiritually-rooted organizing that CSPL has used throughout our history to guide our work.
This field guide is a framework for CSPL members, as groups and individuals, seeking to discern with more awareness of the vocabulary, core elements, and varieties of discernment in the Christian tradition. It focuses on the connection discernment has with social justice, that is, the concrete ways God calls us in our specific contexts to build power and liberatory systems for God’s Kin-dom.
This field guide offers a “lay of the land” of discernment, orienting you to some roads and rivers you’ll likely travel, some wells or oases from which you can drink, and some potholes and twists you’ll likely encounter. We invite you to consider these resources, determine which speak most to your context, and chart your discernment journey from there.
