"The beauty of universality is that the church is able to speak to people in whatever language they understand best – and we’re not just talking about verbal language."
- Sr. Thea Bowman, Catholic activist who fought for Civil Rights in the U.S. church, as quoted from Thea’s Song: The Life of Thea Bowman by Charlene Smith and John Feister; cited from "To live fully: The witness of Thea Bowman" by Christopher Pramuk in America magazine, July 7-14, 2014.
