SISTERS IN CRISIS
The Tragic Unraveling of Women's Religious Communities, by Ann Carey. A generation ago in the United States, nearly 200,000 sisters worked in Catholic schools, hospitals and nursing homes. Catholics honored them as they gave witness to the spiritual richness of a vocation to the religious life. Today, only half as many sisters remain. Journalist and author Ann Carey examines the forces that have contributed to this crisis; but she also demonstrates that there are strong signs of vitality in communities that retain a strong commitment to Catholic spirituality. Hardcover. 367 pages.
