Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton
Dorothy Day, Catholic Worker co-founder, and Thomas Merton, Trappist monk, were outstanding American Catholics. Their lives and teaching raise important questions concerning vocation and religious commitment, war and peace, contemplation and simplicity in modern life, Christian activism, racial justice, capitalism, women, laity, and, with Merton, Christianity's relationship to world religions.
