Pamela Cooper-White apporte une profonde compréhension de l'art et de la musique à son travail théologique. Ses études en musicologie, y compris un doctorat axé sur Arnold Schoenberg, lui ont donné une perspective unique sur la structure et la profondeur émotionnelle dans l'expression. Cette appréciation des arts s'entremêle avec son appel au ministère, où elle s'est inspirée du mouvement Catholic Worker. Cooper-White s'est consacrée au service des communautés marginalisées, y compris les sans-abri et les victimes de violence domestique, offrant un accompagnement pastoral aux personnes confrontées à des menaces.
How do we address polarization in American society? The question has been pressing for years. The events of January 6, 2021, made it even more urgent. For Pamela Cooper-White the way forward lies in balancing the pastoral and the prophetic. Though difficult, our calling to fight for justice and our duty to love our neighbor must be held together.
