Abstract
ABSTRACTJane Addams, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jean Vanier, and Mary Jo Leddy were, and are, people of faith whose lives reflected that faith. This article presents a framework entitled faith-inspired praxis of love, grounded in the work of these five individuals. The framework’s foundational concepts (i.e., faith, love, and praxis) are illustrated in its six operational dimensions: (a) in God and with people, (b) whole relationships, (c) community, (d) hospitality, (e) nonviolence, and (f) change-making. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of the framework for social work and helping professions.
