FROM OUR EDITORS

Father Greg Boyle admits that East Los Angeles can be a grim place: "A great many kids in my neighborhood don't plan their futures; they plan their funerals." But the Jesuit priest refuses to accept eulogies as his major job assignment. Working since 1986 in the poorest parish in the Los Angeles diocese, "Father Greg" has run Jobs for a Future, an ambitious, albeit cash-strapped program that has helped thousands of gang members discover a life beyond the death mill. G-Dog and The Homeboys presents the story Boyle's unconventional ministry and its extraordinary successes.
