Peaceprints:
Sister Karen's Paths to Nonviolence Evelyn
McLean Brady, Editor
This beautiful book celebrates the
life of Sister Karen Klimczak, SSJ, and helps us cherish the memory of this passionate
champion of nonviolence, who dedicated her life to providing sanctuary and hope
to ex-offenders.
The
biographies, stories, essays, interviews, poetry, art, and photographs that grace
this book are voices of the community expressing how Buffalo's Ambassador of Peace
touched their lives. Vignettes are interspersed with entries from Sister Karen’s
own journals and observations that express hope and forgiveness.
The Emmy-nominated
DVD, Apostle of Peace, produced by Daybreak TV Productions, is enclosed
in each book. This moving half-hour tribute to Sister Karen that aired a year
after her death includes interviews with some of the people closest to her, along
with archival footage of Sister Karen herself.
For
those who knew Sister Karen, the book and DVD are a beautiful way to remember
her. For those who were not privileged to meet her before her untimely death in
April, 2006, they offer a way to understand her mission and ministry and become
an inspiration to continue her work. Resources and questions based on the themes
in the book are provided for individual and group reflection and discussion.
