Short for "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence." The Sisters are a world-wide order of 21st Century, queer nuns who serve the LGBTQ and other marginalized communities. The members of the all-volunteer organization, after an extensive training process, take lifelong vows in service of the community. Namely, to
promulgate universal joy, expiate
stigmatic guilt, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. They accomplish their vows in countless ways, but the most common are through progressive, social activism,
street theater, and non-denominational ministry without judgement. They also raise thousands, upon thousands of dollars each year which they grant out to those in need. www.thesisters.org
