I walked up to the microphone at the front of the ballroom, holding my notebook in the crook of my arm. It was Saturday, July 6th, the second full day of the North American Ursuline Convention at the Crowne Plaza in Cincinnati, and ideas were continuing to buzz through the room. Since 1992, the convention has taken place every three years. Its mission: “[To gather] the daughters and sons of Angela to celebrate our Ursuline identity in bringing the Gospel to the world.” This year’s theme was Angela’s Radical Gospel Vision: Expanding the Circles. I was grateful that the circle had expanded to include me.
