Book excerpt: In the 1960s, a number of Catholic women in the U.S. abandoned traditional apostolic works to experiment with new and often unprecedented forms of service among non-Catholics. Koehlinger explores this phenomenon through close examination of one of its most visible forms—the experience of white sisters working in African-American communities.
