| Description | File of correspondence with Srs. Marie Ita and Charlotte Klein of the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion, and Sr. Mary Kelley (Secretary of a Catholic-Jewish Relations committee), on issues relating to Catholic-Jewish relations and the role of Catholic religious communities in Palestine, particularly the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion. Diana Richmond's letters include her memories of Jerusalem - where her daughters were briefly educated by the 'Dames de Sion', and her concerns that the Congregation's missionary spirit was diverging from the intentions of its co-founder, Alphonsus Ratisbonne. In response, there is a long letter from Sr. Marie Ita, as well as copies of the nun's correspondence with 'Hebrew Catholic priest' Fr. Arthur Klyber C.SS.R., articles by Fr. Klyber, a photocopied leaflet by Sr. Marie on 'The Vocation of Fr. Theodore Ratisbonne and Our Mission', a published booklet 'The Conquest of the Miraculous Medal - Marie Alphonse Ratisbonne' (1955) and a letter to Barbara Hamilton-Smith. |
