Joan’s most significant contribution to LCWR may have been her leadership in organizing, coordinating and crafting members’ responses to the 1977 proposed canons on religious life. As then LCWR executive director Mary Daniel Turner noted: “Joan believed the experience of women religious in this country and their fidelity to the imperatives of the Second Vatican Council could become eminently clear through a critical and coherent corporate response to the proposed canons." |
