Alyssa Stebbing (eMail • Web
site • UN
blog) grew up the true flower child of well-educated,
hippie parents. Spending a couple of years at a commune
in New
Mexico, in the early '70s—and having the experiment
end poorly—sent her family packing to the nearest church,
35 miles away.
Alyssa's
experience as a folk, punk, country, and rock musician and
songwriter was enormously helpful in her work with other
musicians, through Compassion
International, for nine years. In 1998, she left Compassion
to start The Legacy of a Kid Brother of St. Frank, following
the death of her friend, Rich
Mullins. The Legacy works with at-risk youth on reservations,
in urban areas, and with Russian orphans, using music and the arts to develop coping
skills and discover alternatives to violence and abuse.
Alyssa
is a professed Franciscan with the Order
of Ecumenical Franciscans, and is known, in the Order,
as Sr. A. Claire Magdalena. She currently assists a
church in The
Woodlands, Texas in developing a worship service that utilizes artistic disciplines, and serves as the parish's Director of Outreach.
