UNCSW 2011: Beautifully full, Beautifully Rich
by Shannon Preston, Diocese of Minnesota Today was beautifully full and beautifully rich of things to learn and people acting against injustice. I attended the last half of the viewing of Pink Smoke Over the Vatican. I had seen the film a few weeks ago in St. Cloud and got there in time to see […]

UNCSW 2011: A Rich History
by Grace King, Diocese of Connecticut My original thought upon my arrival was “what am I doing here?” I knew a whole lot less about what was going on at the UN than everyone else. Everyone’s’ passion was so inspiring and I was left wondering what there was left for me or my community to […]
UNCSW 2011: A Room Full of People

UNCSW 2011: Transforming the Desert
by Michelle Sukup Jackson We have all faced different temptations just like Jesus did in the desert. Well, maybe not just like Jesus.
