Sunday Morning Reflections


     Please join me in congratulating three remarkable women: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Karman, who fought dictatorship, injustice and sexual violence in Liberia and Yemen. On Saturday, December 10, 2011, the three women received the Nobel Peace Prize in Olso, Norway. 
     On a dark December day in Norway, a light began to shine with hope for abused women around the world......
