Sister Joan Chittister in the News

BE NOT SILENT:

An interview with Sister Joan Chittister appears in the June 2007 issue of the award-winning The Sun magazine. Titled, “Be Not Silent: Sister Joan Chittister Speaks Out On War, Feminism, And the Catholic Church,” the seven-page interview covers topics ranging from the religious right to the war in Iraq to the role of organized religion to the virgin birth to women in the church to sex scandals in the church to Democrats in Congress.
In his introduction, interviewer James Kullander writes: “When I first heard Chittister enthrall more than a thousand people at a 2004 conference in New York City, I discovered that she is one of the most outspoken and articulate social critics and religious leaders of our time. As she spoke in that hotel ballroom, the sheer authority of her voice and the force of her indictment of religious hypocrisy, economic injustice, and political intolerance made me feel as if I were being pressed against the plush, red-cushioned seat, as when a plane takes off.”
