Statement in Opposition to the Death Penalty

The Leadership and Justice Representatives of the North American Conference
of the Presentation Sisters believe that the death penalty is immoral and should
be abolished.

We support a consistent ethic of life, believing that all life is sacred from the moment
it begins until its natural death. The death penalty promotes the idea that the life of
the condemned is no longer sacred. We believe that those of us who are guilty of the
most heinous crimes are still sacred in the eyes of God. We believe that all persons are
redeemable and loved by God. 2000
