The Christopher Awards 2011

The Christophers should be known better ... so let's start there.
The mission of The Christophers is to encourage people of all ages, and from all walks of life, to use their God-given talents to make a positive difference in the world. The mission is best expressed in The Christophers’ motto: “It’s better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
One of the ways they do this is with their annual Christopher Awards. This year:
A mother strives to improve the lives of autistic children; an African-American nun establishes greater racial equality within the Catholic Church; two brothers travel around the world to discover the commonality of the human experience. These are just a few of the powerful stories told in the books, films, and TV programs that make up the winners of the 62nd annual Christopher Awards.
Go see who won and why. You're going to find new books to read, movies to see, and heroes you didn't know about.
