Friendship house

In Friendship House the Baroness Hueck and several of the staff workers tell the story of the Harlems of America, relating their experience with all the variety of the Brothers Christopher who have accepted the invitation of Friendship House to "stay as long as they would."

“I saw Christ the Boy,” writes Catherine de Hueck Doherty, “playing in this dirty, narrow street ….Christ walks through all the dirty streets, eternally. And Friendship House staff workers… learned in Toronto to follow where he led.” In gripping vignettes, Catherine Doherty paints the story of her pioneering work among the poor and dispossessed in Toronto in the 1930s and then among the African Americans of New York and Chicago.
