Dublin conference   As the cardinals meet in Rome, Women’s Ordination Worldwide is more vocal than ever. First international conference is in Dublin June 29, with a keynote by Joan Chittister complete story. Leaders of 20 regional CTA chapters and affiliates met March 24 in Chicago. Thirty-five participants came from 20 states, stretching from northern and southern California to Pennsylvania and New England. New units in Iowa City and Fort Wayne were represented, and 15 attendees were there for the first time — a sign of continuing growth in established chapters. It was the largest meeting of CTA regional leaders to date. (Photo: John W. Ahlhauser)
