{PBJFlorida} Re: Here's a nun who lives what she believes: stop nuclear weapons

AA Penny, yes, Mom and I were commenting on this sister. She is a well deserved red hat lady! I did some research on her, thinking she might have been a companion to a dear friend of my Mom's who was a founding mother of "Grandmothers Against Nuclear Proliferation" back in the 70's and 80's. Ruth got arrested a lot, and had the shirts to prove it! She is now passed but was an incredible woman of faith. I have known many fine nuns over the years and many of them are strong, fervent women of faith that make differences.

She uses civil disobedience, direct (very direct) action, and "bold fervor" to act. Read this article about the courage of Sister Rice at age 82.
