In the spring 2014 issue of Social Policy, the sociologist S.M. Miller relates on what he learned from the Fourth World Movement.<\/p>\n
“I recall the first time that I heard Father Joseph speak. I understood little of what he said but the volunteers listening to him occasionally laughed. Joking emerged. Indeed, the various times that I talked privately with Pere Joseph he would be bubbling (I did not understand much of it); obviously, he was enjoying his humor. The Movement was not a joyless, dutiful experience for him. Working for and with the poor realizes important elements of one\u2019s own life.”<\/p>\n
