ABSTRACT
Historically, the Catholic Worker movement sprang into existence and grew around two powerful charismatic leaders: Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day. Maurin gave the Worker its ideals of personalist hospitality, the clarification of thought seminars, and the "green revolution". Day's contributions, on the other hand, were her leadership abilities and emotional powers which were devoted to peace issues and love for the underpriviledged. Since the chapter focuses on those "key members" of the Catholic Worker movement and its operations at the Saint Joseph's House, only they will be included in the chart to serve as a visual aid in illustrating the emerging pattern of organizational development. In examining the chart, it must be kept in mind that this movement has consistently enunciated a philosophy of anarchy and has traditionally functioned as an undifferentiated organizational system. The organizational chart indicates that different levels of membership as well as definite lines of power and authority exist within the Catholic Worker movement.
