Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted February 23, 2016 Might as well use this thread for updates on the world's second most-famous nun as well. Prayers are being asked, again, for the health of Mother Angelica, who is in a "delicate" condition and has apparently worsened significantly in recent days.

Ooh, I feel a debate coming on; is there any reputable way of identifying the world's most famous nuns? I mean, there might be one in India or somewhere who's a local hero to hundreds of millions and largely unknown outside of that land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,538 Posted February 23, 2016 Famous living nuns? Well, 1983 Wimbledon runner-up Andrea Jaeger later became a sister after her retirement from tennis.

BuriedInCarolina 46 Posted February 23, 2016 and don't forget - Janet Mead (born 1938, Adelaide, South Australia) is an Australian Roman Catholic nun and is best known for recording a rock version of "The Lord's Prayer". The surprise hit reached Number 3 on the Australian Singles Chart in 1974 and Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same year. The single earned her a Grammy Award nomination and Golden Gospel Award[ in 2004. It sold over one and a half million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA on April 8, 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Mead http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/sister-janet-mead-adelaides--singing-nun-on-her-no-1-hit-the-lords-prayer-fame-and-helping-the-homeless/news-story/3ca9576a20b8a73e9a20864ef298abec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted September 2, 2016 More on Wybourne.. Her dug (Bro Duncan) pegged it the other week, but she has replaced him so must think she'll be around for a while. On the other hand, her chemo seems to be getting ramped, and will 'knock me out one week in three'.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted September 25, 2016 More on Wybourne.. Her dug (Bro Duncan) pegged it the other week, but she has replaced him so must think she'll be around for a while. On the other hand, her chemo seems to be getting ramped, and will 'knock me out one week in three'.... Latest gleaned from a letter from her new dog to her dead dog (seriously). PET scan last week wasn't as expected, so wasn't allowed home for a few days. Assuming it's her that did the letter, she must be out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted October 20, 2016 Wybourne update.. Winging her way as I type to A&E with a "suspected chemo related infection". Normally that would be a bit run of the mill, but she ended the post , with extremely out of character when in relation to herself, " prayers please".
