    “Servant of God and Man” is the motto Auxiliary Bishop George R. Evans chose to have affixed to his coat o f arms when he was elevated to the episcopacy of the Church on April 23, 1969, by Pope Paul VI. Fidelity to his chosen guiding principle earned for him the reputa­ tion as a “social action bishop.” A sensitive and caring man, he was always reticent about himself, preferring instead to praise the people with whom he worked. His deep concern for social justice issues came about in his first year as a bishop. Only seven months after his consecration as a bishop, he preached a sermon defending social activism and Church reform touched off by the modernization efforts o f the Second Vatican Council. Thereafter, he took highly public stands on the needs o f the poor, on housing issues, on women’s rights, on pro-life and the issue o f nuclear war.

Miriam Ruth, The Mother-Supreme, definitely keeps the young Agnes away from the doctor, raising Livingston's suspicions further. Who killed the baby and who was the father of the tiny victim? Livingston's questions force all three women to reconsider the meaning of faith and the power of love that leads to John Pilmeier's play GodWritten by John PielmeierCharactersAgnesMother Miriam RuthDr. Martha Livingston's premiere of the 1979Place premiere of Eugene O'Neill's Theatrical Language CenterEnglishSubjectDramaSettingA Monastery Agnes God is a 1979 play by American playwright John Pielmeier which tells the story of an aspiring nun who gives birth and insists that the baby was the result of a virgin concept. The psychiatrist and mother of the monastery's chief clashed during the investigation. The name is a pun on the Latin phrase Agnus Dei (The Lamb of God). Summary Of the Stage Play touches on three main characters: Martha, a psychiatrist; Mother-supreme; and Agnes, a rookie. There are no other characters on the stage. All three roles are considered to be demanding of the actors playing them. Martha covers the entire range of emotions during the play, from educator to antagonist, from a hard-footed court psychiatrist and atheist to a faithful healer seeking faith. She is always on stage and has only three small respite from monologues or dialogue while Agnes and Mother Supreme take memories of the events in the monastery.

  • Agnes Audition Packet.Indd
    Agnes of GOD Audition Packet A Production of Oeuvre Arts Omnimedia at The Play Ground Theatre, Duluth, Minnesota About the play Agnes of God is a play written by John Pielmeier which tells the story of Agnes, a novice who gives birth to a child she is accused of killing in her room. She insists that the dead child was the result of a virgin conception. A psychiatrist and the mother superior of the convent clash during the resulting investigation. The title is a pun on the Latin phrase Agnus Dei, or, Lamb of God. The drama is widely believed to have been based on an actual incident that occurred at a convent near Rochester, New York. The play opened on Broadway on March 30, 1982 at the Music Box Theatre. The original cast was Elizabeth Ashley as Dr. Livingstone, Geraldine Page as Mother Miriam Ruth and Amanda Plummer as Agnes. During the run, Diahann Carroll also played Dr. Livingstone and Carrie Fisher played the role of Agnes. About the playwright JOHN PIELMEIER (born February 23, 1949) is an American playwright and screenwriter. Born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Pielmeier earned a Bache- lor of Arts degree from the Catholic University of America in 1970 and a Master of Fine Arts degree from Pennsyl- vania State University in 1978. He began his career as an actor, working with such repertory companies as Actors Theater of Louisville and the Guthrie Theater. In 1976, Pielmeier’s first play, A Chosen Room, was pro- duced in Minneapolis. Three years later, Agnes of God was performed in a staged reading at the O’Neill National Playwrights’ Conference in Waterford, Connecticut and won the 1979 Great American Play Contest.

  • Is There a Road Back to Innocence & Virtue? the Dog You Feed the Most
    Is there a road back to innocence & virtue? The dog you feed the most will dominate your life By Choctaw Doc In 1985 the Broadway hit “Agnes of God” was released as a movie directed by Normal Jewison. Marshall Fine tendered this review on Amazon.com: This Broadway hit gets a solid film treatment by director Norman Jewison, but that can’t make up for the weaknesses of the script (which were as true onstage as they are here). Jane Fonda plays a chain-smoking shrink sent to a convent to do a psychological evaluation of a novice (Meg Tilly) who gave birth to a baby and then killed it in her little room. Was it a virgin birth? A miracle? And what of the bloody stigmata that seem to spontaneously appear on her hands? Fonda also finds herself clashing with the Mother Superior (Anne Bancroft) over the line between faith and science. But writer John Pielmeier can’t flesh this out beyond an idea; in the end, the solution is a disappointingly earthbound one that even the strong acting in this film can’t elevate. OK, so the film isn’t flawless and has garnered more than its fair share of “1 or 2 thumbs down”. With this said, I like this flick. Why so? In-a-word it lays in the fact Agnes the novice nun somehow manages to interact with the world thorough a lens of innocence. That is, the un-jaded aspects of her being for the most part dominate her day-to-day existence and how she perceives life and those around her.

  • The Nun in Film from WWII to the Present
    ABSTRACT KROCKER, SARAH ELIZABETH. Half a Woman: The Nun in Film from WWII to the Present. (Under the direction of Maria Pramaggiore.) Half a Woman examines how six prominent nun films signify the changing perception of the nun in postwar America and Great Britain. Through the changing perspective of the populace, as well as historical influences such as the Feminist Movement, the nun has shifted from the angelic entity of the mid-1940s in The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) and Lilies of the Field (1963) to the sexual demon of the 1970s and 1980s with The Devils (1971). After the 1980s, the nun was not only a sexual demon but a platform for political commentary. Agnes of God (1983), Dead Man Walking (1995), and The Magdalene Sisters (2002) all use the nun to express a political stance on topics affecting women, as well as society at the turn of the 21st century.
