The Leadership Conference of Women Religious, which represents thousands of American nuns, has been awarded the Herbert Haag Prize for 2013 for Freedom in the Church.
The Catholic-based Herbert Haag Foundation honored LCWR “for their candid stance in this crisis, for their persistent loyalty to the Christian message and for the spiritual energy with which they carry the conflict,” according to a recent press release.
The award honors “people and institutions that engage themselves in the spirit of the apostle Paul for freedom in the church and in doing so give witness to the world,” the press release said.
