Pamela Cooper-White přinesla do své teologické práce hluboké porozumění umění a hudbě. Její studia historie hudby na Harvardu a pozdější doktorské studium se zaměřením na Arnolda Schoenberga jí daly jedinečný pohled na strukturu a emocionální hloubku vyjádření. Tato láska k umění se prolíná s jejím povoláním k duchovní službě, kde se inspirovala hnutím Catholic Worker. Cooper-White se věnovala práci s marginalizovanými skupinami, včetně lidí bez domova a obětí domácího násilí, a vedla pastorální doprovod pro ty, kteří čelili nebezpečí.
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.
