Leadership Conference of Women Religious Shares Statement Responding to These Times
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), of which we are a member, recently shared a statement in response to these times.
The statement begins, “Over the course of the last several years, we have watched with grave concern a global and national shift in values and priorities that is negatively impacting the health of the planet and the lives of millions of its most vulnerable inhabitants. Policies enacted by many governments, including our own in the United States, as well as choices being made by citizens, point to a rapid dismantling of values that we consider bedrock for the future of the global community.”
Saint Benedict’s Monastery supports LCWR’s call to “be women who stay informed, listen carefully to all voices and perspectives, and engage in serious and deep discernment to make wise choices so that we do not contribute hatred, fear, division, or violence to the world.”
