ACE in the News: New York Times tells of faith community in Tucson

New York Times religion commentator Samuel Freedman offers a look at the ACE Teaching Fellows faith community in Tucson in a piece published on Oct. 19.

Freedman writes: "Devoting themselves to society’s overlooked and left-behind, voluntarily accepting a wage of $1,000 a month that is roughly at the federal poverty line, living in intentional Christian households, the 1,600 teachers produced by ACE in its 19-year history have formed the 21st-century equivalent of the sisters and brothers from Catholic religious orders whose sacrifices for decades sustained the American parochial school system."
