  • Read more about At LCWR 2014: Feeling grateful

GSR Today - Arriving in Nashville yesterday to cover the Leadership Conference of Women Religious annual assembly, I was struck with a deep sense of thankfulness. The theme this year is “Holy Mystery Revealed in Our Midst,” and from the press section in the back of the ballroom — being able to see not only the stage, but the entire audience — I was keenly aware of how holy mystery plays a part in each individual life. I’m in Nashville until Friday evening, and I’ll be blogging right here at the Global Sisters Report every day and tweeting from the sessions that are open to press (search the hashtag #LCWR2014).

  • Read more about From Seoul, sisters' message to LCWR

The distance from Seoul to Nashville is 6,927 miles, but some “sister sisters” here feel close to Leadership Conference of Women Religious delegates now in the middle of the annual meeting. Yesterday I had an appointment to meet two women here in Seoul, members of the Little Servants of the Holy Family, a local congregation, that took the Vatican II call seriously and renewed their congregation’s charter and mission following the council.

  • Read more about Divided South Korean church awaits Pope Francis

When Pope Francis arrives here Thursday, he will encounter a vibrant but divided Korean church. It is a church that has grown substantially in numbers in recent decades, but one with significant internal divisions. At the center of this division is how Korean Catholics should engage society and how Catholics should respond to the needs of the poor and the marginalized, especially those displaced by the rapid social and economic change that has occurred here in the past two decades.
