Tommy Greenan was a young Scottish priest who chose to live and work among the poorest of the poor in civil war-torn El Salvador in the 1980s, shortly after the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero, whose ministry inspired him. The Song of the Poor is a record of Tommy''s experiences presented as beautiful, and often shattering, short chapters.
They are intense and moving, but also often humorous, ranging from colourful human encounters to profound meditations on personal, political and religious matters. Assembled now after Fr Greenan''s death in 2020, together they provide an unforgettable chronicle of the life of the poor and of a remarkable individual in a time of trouble and hope.
