  • Read more about It's all there for birds of Home Depot

Amid habitat loss and diminishing biodiversity, I'm watching a new species evolve in a curious new habitat: the birds of Home Depot. Why does my heart ache when I hear them calling from the plastic shelves of paradise?

  • Read more about Global Sisters Report celebrates five years

Global Sisters Report is 5 years old! To celebrate our anniversary, we've selected 25 of our most memorable stories, blogs and columns into a slideshow. We're mindful that each one reflects the decision by women to answer God's call in a particular way, to live as Catholic women religious in a prayer life, a shared life and a vowed life.

  • Read more about At one with the Honduran family

My experience with the "People of Faith Root Causes Pilgrimage to Honduras" delegation was memorable. One plea from groups and individuals was that we persuade our government not to send aid to Honduras because it is used by the government, its army and police forces to oppress the people. They said that the ordinary poor people, 60% of the population, never see aid from the U.S.

  • Read more about In pursuit of health care for all Missourians, I have a journalistic role

Notes from the Field - My favorite work at Missouri Health Care for All is collecting stories. I interview people, draft their stories, and then post them online. The stories can further expose the human impact of our health care crisis.
