Original Toronto Star caption: The New Nuns have the Intellectual Habit, While a woman theologian who smokes cigars made news headlines at this week's congress on the Theology of the Renewal of the Church in Toronto, most of the other women at the conference were distinguished by another characteristic. They wore the black and white habits of the nuns of the Roman Catholic Church. Their snowy coifs, folded into all kinds of headdress shapes, framed both young and old faces-but faces lit with intellectual interest in the modern-day theology that was being expounded. The congress, a centennial project of the Canadian Catholic hierarchy, was attended by 2,000 delegates from 15 countries. There were 45 major speakers. Day and evening sessions were at U of T.
