I am fascinated by nuns and put them in a category all to their own, like royalty. That is why I am thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with Sister Deborah who is well-known for her 22-year career of excellence, as the teacher, principle, and president of Mt. Saint Mary’s Academy, an all-girls high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Sister Deborah has traveled the world. As a young nun she met Sister Teresa in India and, in her travels, roamed with a Buddhist monk. After retirement she traveled serving as a Sister of Mercy for the Americas.
Today Sister is back in Little Rock as the Executive Director of the Arkansas House of Prayer on the campus of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church. Set in nature and dedicated to contemplative prayer and meditation this haven is a quiet place for peoples of all faith, and of no faith at all.
As Sister Deborah says. “… It’s the space that doesn’t have an agenda.”
