Hi Joanne,
Β
RenΓ©e Roden had a clear vocation as a writer, but the market didn't automatically provide a βcomfortable living.β This led her to some fundamental questions: Why is our economy structured this way? Why is some work valued while other work isn't? How can I live my values economically?
Her answers led her to the Catholic Worker movementβa 90-year-old tradition of:
- Intentional community living
- Voluntary simplicity
- Direct service to those experiencing poverty and homelessness
- Economic alternatives to mainstream capitalism
In our latest bonus podcast episode of Religion to Reality, RenΓ©e shares lessons from running a Catholic Worker house in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
