We were meant to have more
than relics of Christ.
We were meant to have,
and are meant to have,
Christ himself.
—Caryll Houselander

Our Service Recordings and More
|
|
During the service we honored Sister Thea Bowman, a Catholic nun, teacher, poet, singer and scholar. She became an evangelist among her people, assisted in the production of an African American hymnal, and was a popular speaker on faith and spirituality in her final years. She helped found the National Black Sisters Conference to provide support for African-American women in Catholic religious institutes. Bowman has been designated a ”Servant of God” on the path to canonization.
