What Brother Karl Gaspar has written in this book is Philippine Church history critically and beautifully woven into the socio-political past of this country. Though written by someone who serves the Church, this work was never meant to aggrandize the institution. In fact, it is upon the Church’s shortcomings and previous faults that Brother Karl anchors his call for the church to reflect on the present issues and concerns confronting the Indigenous Peoples and how such concerns can be integrated into the Church’s contemporary mission.
