Founded in Indian Territory in 1858, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth met, a century later, challenges of a new frontier in the church's call to adapt to modern circumstances and in their own awareness of deepening social and ecclesial needs. For three decades, sisters struggled with conditions that threatened unity: issues of governance, demands of professional training, diverse backgrounds, differing experience of communal life, developing theology of religious vows. Diminishing numbers coupled with need for leadership led to new institutional roles and new forms of ministry. Emerging Frontiers records the struggle and its outcome. A common past and determination to stay together marked the long search for a renewed common vision. A new century brought re-dedication to a Vincentian heritage and far-flung partnerships in the mission given by Jesus Christ to his people. Commitment to those in need, especially women and children; fidelity to the church; faithful relationship with those of means and good will, and with the earth; transition to sponsorship of institutional ministries, many now administered by lay women and men; solidarity with all who stand for justice and peace: this was the resolution of a renewed Community whose story is told here.

Religious sisters have created educational and healthcare systems over the past two hundred years that have transformed the Catholic community in the United States. Through their ministry, sisters have served waves of immigrants and those pushed to the margins. The growing cultural diversity of newer sisters and the diminishing number of older sisters, therefore, is both a challenge and a creative moment to be critically examined. This book examines these changes in culture and ethnicity among sisters, the structural impact of diminishing numbers, and the creative response to this new reality for religious life in the United States. In it, sisters from a variety of generations, cultures, and institutes join with the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) researchers to examine and reflect on CARA's recent research findings and their impact on the life and ministry of sisters today.

When vespers were given upon noteworthy occasions a decided tone of elegance was given to the affair. Ancestral silver was brought out; the finest and heaviest of linens, handwoven, with crests or initials of the owner in the corners; Old Meissen or Spode china; and the Baron Stiegel glass in some families. The every-day sugar cake gave way to sponge, or "baba" cakes... White grape jelly was also considered a very great dainty to serve at vesper. -from "A Tranquil Community" In December 1740, a small group of German pilgrims arrived in the British colony of Pennsylvania, intent on founding a settlement of the Moravian Church in the New World. By the era of the Civil War, more than a century later, a vigorous and lively society of active women-driven by faith and the desire to go good-had significantly influenced the lives of their neighbors and the community around them. This delightful 1918 work traces the history of these capable women, in a gentle but puissant reminder of the dramatic impact the work of women has had on the shaping of America. American writer ELIZABETH LEHMAN MYERS (1869-1936) authored numerous papers on local Pennsylvania history.

Abstract : The aim of this qualitative study is to investigate why contemporary Roman Catholic women sustain their calling to the service of others within a vowed religious life. Secular changes have impacted on the long period of growth in Roman Catholic religious orders since the nineteenth century but the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s produced ongoing and formidable challenges to a sustained calling for women religious to serve others. I argue that, while explanations for calling sustainment may vary among contemporary women religious, such explanations are associated by their reference to a common language and meanings given to vowed religious life that are familiar to all women religious and are part of a discourse inherited by the communities of women they join. The 'calling' is understood by these women, therefore, as a primary link between past and present through which contemporary women religious explain their choices to serve others in terms of a two thousand year narrative rather than simply a unique experience. The language and meanings that explain the calling to religious life for Roman Catholic women may be examined in a number of different ways. At the individual level, we may understand the concept of the calling as women in religious communities enabled to establish a core identity and a vital source of agency through reference to those exemplars, within their narrative, who have come before them. The religious calling to service has social, political, and cultural implications for all vowed women given the patriarchal institutions of power within which they have historically operated. Sociologically, however, the calling these women refer to appears to be primarily shaped by dispositional and situational factors in the antecedent, experiential, and consequential stages of an individual's life in her religious community. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to examine from a sociological perspective not only the processes that facilitate vocational perseverance for women religious, but also outcomes, in terms of personal and organisational transformation within Roman Catholic communities of women, of new and diverse ways of being and doing. In particular, I argue that women religious explain their perseverance in navigating the challenging path through a vocational journey that involves avoidance, expectation, resistance, and compliance because the language and meanings they associate with their calling continue to be a powerful presence within congregations of consecrated women geared for revitalization and transformation within different forms of intentional community. Their ability to identify, understand, regulate, and moderate the emotions within themselves and others generated by a calling to religious work has equipped these women with the energy and capacity to cope with challenge and change regardless of circumstance. Without understanding and placing their calling within a shared narrative, there would be less optimism or agency of the kind that enables women religious to serve others wherever, in global terms, the need arises. In this research I focus specifically on role modelling, emotional and faith maturity, reasoned argument, as well as altruistic and egoistic motivations that sustain women religious in their chosen way of life and embedded within the explanations they offer for their calling to service. My research is therefore focused on the 'who, what, how, and why' of the dynamic relationship between the 'calling' and the called in Roman Catholic communities of women religious today.

This is the first in-depth study of post-war female religious life. It draws on archival materials and a remarkable set of eighty interviews to place Catholic sisters and nuns at the heart of the turbulent 1960s, integrating their story of social change into a larger British and international one. Shedding new light on how religious bodies engaged in modernisation, it addresses themes such as the Modern Girl and youth culture, ‘1968’, generational discourse, post-war modernity, the voluntary sector and the women’s movement. Women religious were at the forefront of the Roman Catholic Church’s movement of adaptation and renewal towards the world. This volume tells their stories in their own words.
