She's been called a Catholic visionary--and a renegade nun. Sister Joan Chittister is one of the leading spiritual voices of our day. A member of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, she is a sought-after speaker and a best-selling author, with more than 50 books to her name. We’ll talk with her about her faith journey, about the role of women in society and the church, and about the stunning new biography about her life and influence.
