 This title is a collection of ten addresses given by presidents of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) at the conference’s annual Assembly over the course of thirty five years. Each address is prefaced with a brief recap of news, historical, and political events that occurred in that same year and which give context to the issues discussed, with the final address of the collection marking the year 2012 when the LCWR came into a national spotlight. Although each speech captures its own point in time, the addresses have a timeless quality, with each connected to past and future addresses as in a living document offering a continuation of ongoing concerns, challenges, and considerations. Situations that may appear to outside observers as newly arisen can be seen instead as works in progress over the decades, stemming from past and ongoing considerations.
In April 2012 the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) received a notification from the Vatican charging the organization with doctrinal and pastoral errors that were "grave and a matter of serious concern." For many Americans, this was their first awareness of the LCWR, a canonically approved organization representing over 80 percent of women religious in the United States. One of the outcomes was an outpouring of support and solidarity with the sisters, an appreciation for their lives of selfless service, and evidence of a strong hunger for a type of spiritual leadership attuned to the signs of the times. This volume collects ten presidential addresses from the LCWR's annual assemblies. Beginning in 1977 with Sister Joan Chittister's reflections on the changing models of religious life, it concludes with Sister Pat Farrell's moving speech at the historic 2012 gathering, responding to the Vatican's notification.
