I don't agree with all Donna's perspectives and reasoning but am inspired by the simple commitment and following of 'call' that resulted and results in her story!! Out now!

"Ordinary Courage" Donna Mulhearn
This book is a must read for anyone seeking to be challenged about being fully human, fully themselves and wanting to make the world a better place!! Donna's story begins with reflection about a pair of blood stained boots and moves through surprising and frightening episodes in her efforts to simply respond with non violence in a crazy world of just the opposite.

Hey!
While I'm here checking out your blog and being reminded of Donna's story - at our SSUCA 'elders workshop' the other night we watched a movie, Entertaining Angels, about the life of Dorothy Day. Would be an interesting story for you i think (notably her shoes get vomited on :-)
Dorothy Day started the Catholic Worker in New York during the depression. Of interest to us at SSUCA because of it's newspaper highlighting local social justice issues. The Catholic Worker continue to do much good work through the paper and feeding hungry people.
Anyway, when i watched the movie I was reminded of something of Donna's story.
Nic.
