Résumé
Written by a friend, who knew firsthand his many strengths as well as his faults, this is a portrait of Jim McSheffrey, a complex yet humble man who pursued religious life as a Jesuit brother. Shy and awkward, McSheffrey became… passionate about justice in his young adult years. While working in Ontario with the Children's Aid Society and a half-way house, and then with unemployed people in Newfoundland, he developed a profound respect for the poor. Never a mere do-gooder, McSheffrey acquired a strong, lifelong commitment to social reform and community-building in every region of Canada in which he lived and worked. 2002.
