With extraordinary courage and often with some risk, Joan has chosen to interact with people from all religious backgrounds and work for understanding and peace in the midst of oppressive and violent situations. Convener and co-chair of the Global Peace Initiative, Dena Merriam says: “I have walked with Sister Joan through the checkpoints of Israel and Palestine. I have sat by her side as she mediated the emotional tirades of Israeli and Palestinian women.I have walked with her through the streets of Damascus when we went as envoys of peace from the American people. |
