They discuss the Sisters' creation of "gay relics" in San Francisco, USA and Sydney, Australia, highlighting how the Sisters drew on the intellectual traditions of medieval Christianity to repurpose remnants of destroyed urban spaces as holy relics.For more information, visit www.multiculturalmiddleages.com.
