2005 Local Recipients of Catholic Campaign for Human Development

The Catholic Herald of October 20, 2005 had an article on this, and the same information is at the Archdiocese of Milwaukee web site. Before listing the awardees, it gives the basics.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is a social justice project of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. CCHD's mission is to address the root causes of poverty in America through promotion and support of community controlled, self-help organizations, and through transformative education.

Assuming "transformative education" is synonomous with "transformative learning," here's the entry at Wikipedia, purportedly in English.

At the USCCB web site, here are the CCHD Community Organizing Grants Criteria & Guidelines. These, in turn, link to Basic Principles of Catholic Mission, where the footnote cites

Resolution on Crusade Against Poverty, adopted by National Conference of Catholic Bishops. Nov. 14, 1969. NOTE: The Crusade Against Poverty was later renamed the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.

If the grantees and the underlying theories seemed familiar, then it's probably because you're old enough to remember the War on Poverty and The Great Society.

Update: Fortuitously, the above tour of the Church staffocracy's ideological clutter comes in time for Interaction Day. In case you thought a "change agent" was that machine in the vending room.
