Sister Simone Campbell leads another Nuns on the Bus tour

Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby, recently led another Nuns on the Bus tour, “Bridge the Divides: Transform Politics.”

“We’re going to places where there are differences of opinion, to nourish conversations about the serious work of governance,” she said. “Our problem in the United States is that our politics are purposefully polarized, so that politics are powerless to affect the economy.”

The fourth Nuns on the Bus tour traveled some 2,000 miles through Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia in September. —Religion News Service
