Diversity and the Common Good: Civil Society, Religion, and Catholic Sisters in a Small City

By Meg Wilkes Karraker

Diversity and the Common Good: Civil Society, Religion, and Catholic Sisters in a Small City examines the place of Catholic Sisters in shaping civil society in a small Midwestern city that has successfully confronted diversity. Pertinent in light of Sisters' historical work in creating a 'good society' (as well as recent criticisms and potential sanctions from the Vatican), this book appeals to scholars, students, and others seeking to learn about a city that "works" in the twenty-first century.
