The ninth panel for Global Sisters Report's feature The Life (GSR graphic)
by GSR Staff
Have you read The Life on Global Sisters Report and thought about being a panelist? Now is your chance to apply for the next panel!
We are looking for new panelists for the 2026-27 edition of The Life, starting in November. If you are interested in writing and reflecting on your experiences in religious life, we would love to hear from you.
As a panelist, you will be invited to respond to three or four questions throughout the year, with each response being about 450 words. We offer a onetime honorarium, but the true reward is the opportunity to connect with sisters from all over the world and share insights that can inspire and encourage others.
How it works:
Each month, Global Sisters Report poses a question on a topic related to religious life — spirituality, ministry, formation, leadership and more. You get to choose which questions to answer and when, making it a flexible and enriching experience.
We welcome both new voices and those who have contributed to GSR before as columnists, but if you have been a panelist, we ask that you let someone else have the experience. If you feel called to share your perspective, please consider applying.

How to apply:
Please send the following in one document to GSR editor, Soli Salgado, at [email protected] by Monday, Sept. 21, 2026:
- Your contact information (name, congregation, initials, email, country).
- A 100-word bio written in third person. See example here.
- A 400-450-word writing sample on the theme of Advent, drawing from your experiences or what's happening in your congregation, community or your part of the world.
We want to bring together a diverse group of sisters from different communities, regions and backgrounds. We will notify selected panelists after the deadline, sometime in mid-October. All the requirements are necessary in order to be considered.
This is a wonderful opportunity to engage in a global conversation, share your unique perspective and help foster our global sisterhood. We hope you will join us!
