Copy Desk Daily, Jan. 10, 2020

The Copy Desk Daily highlights recommended news and opinion articles that have crossed the copy editors' desks on their way to you: National Catholic Reporter, Global Sisters Report and EarthBeat (NCR's project on faith and climate change).

If you aren't signed up for those weekly emails (from GSR), you might not know about all the excellent writing from younger sisters that's published there. This week, Marianist Sr. Nicole Trahan shares inspiration for our times found in the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
