In 1964, Fr Nangle, a young Franciscan priest from the US, was assigned to found a new parish in a middle-class neighborhood in Lima, Peru. This book tells the inspiring story of his journey with that parish - eleven years that saw the impact of Vatican II and Medellin - and what happened when they made an 'option for the poor.' This story highlights the impact of church renewal on a middle-class parish. It has uncanny relevance for the typical North American parish. Ultimately it's a story about new life and conversion; an image of a church reborn.
