From South Dakota-
A South Dakota woman who served as a missionary in New York state and established a shelter for abused women in her home state has been honored by the Episcopal Church.
The late Margaret Hawk, who joined a society of lay missionaries in the Anglican Communion in 1963 at the age of 50, was a recipient of the House of Deputies Award of Distinguished Service by the National Episcopal Council.
Hawk, who died Feb. 18, 1993, was known as Sister Margaret by the people she served.
“The Church Army used to refer to women as sisters,” said Bishop John Tarrant, head of the South Dakota Episcopal Diocese.
