SynopsisGrace Gifford married Joseph Mary Plunkett in Kilmainham jail a few hours before his execution. He had been one of the leaders in the 1916 insurrection. This is the story of Grace Gifford Plunkett's life., Almost everyone of her own generation in Ireland knew the story of Grace Gifford. She became part of the drama of the 1916 insurrection when she married Joseph Mary Plunkett in Kilmainham Jail a few hours before his execution. He had been one of the leaders in the fight for Irish freedom and also one of the signatories of the Proclamation of the Republic. Richly illustrated, this book tells the story of her life for the first time. Those who knew her well spoke of her beauty, and of a charm laced with a mordant wit which spared neither friend nor foe. Her story has been compared to something from the novels of French writer Honore de Balzac. In her case, the truth is indeed stranger than fiction., Churches today sometimes resemble political institutions more than religious ones. In particular, major ecumenical organizations like the National Council of Churches (NCC), and the Geneva-based World Council of Churches (WCC) are becoming increasingly politicized. To be sure, they do have a long tradition of political pronouncements, but never have their statements been so controversial and so much under attack as they are today. Many people in the pew as well as many outsiders feel that current "church politics" testify to biased political attitudes of a church elite that has stopped taking its critics seriously. With its more than 300 member churches, the WCC supposedly speaks for non-Catholic Christendom. Many in the WCC's member churches, however, are critical of or indifferent to it and if afforded the chance to hear what is pronounced in their name they would, no doubt, raise their voices in strong protest. Many have already done so.
