Adjunct

Courtney
was evacuated from Ground Zero as the North Tower collapsed on the day
of the attack. She
returned to the site and became deeply involved in the relief ministry
at St. Paul's Chapel, and with her co-workers there has helped establish
The Nine-Twelve Community, a non-profit charity formed by those
called to
continue the spirit of the ministry of St. Paul's at Ground Zero. The
Community is currently working to re-gather that transformed group in
order to help them and others discern where they feel they are called
to serve as we move toward the future healing and rebuilding of Lower
Manhattan. Nine-Twelve hopes to unite these voices in service to good
will, altruism, and the re-imagination of our communities. Cowart's experience
at St. Paul's, and later meeting others who were serving in similar capacities
in New York and Washington, has provided the "Voices from Ground
Zero" verbatim testimonies of altruism and compassion. She is a finalist
for a two-year grant to study the increase of altruism, service and compassion
at Ground Zero, New York, from the Institute for Research on Unlimited
Love.
