New Nuns - Racial Justice and Religious Reform in the 1960s

Informationen zum Autor Amy L. Koehlinger is Assistant Professor in the School of History, Philosophy, and Religion at Oregon State University. Zusammenfassung In the 1960s, a number of Catholic women in the U.S. abandoned traditional apostolic works to experiment with new and often unprecedented forms of service among non-Catholics. Koehlinger explores this phenomenon through close examination of one of its most visible forms—the experience of white sisters working in African-American communities.
