My thesis will explore how the Sisters of Charity and Refuge of Hot Springs become the first people ever known to be excommunicated in the Diocese of Little Rock. It will detail the interwoven lives of five of the sisters and the impact of their membership in a Canadian-based organization known as the Army of Mary, which ultimately led to their excommunication. I expect to complete the thesis in summer 2018.
Because this project details the life stories of the sisters, multiple interviews are required. A list of interview questions, seen below, was one of the documents requested and approved by the IRB. The full thesis proposal also is included below.
