Sister Chat

Today we speak with our Aunt Tam**; a bona fide sister. She talks with us about her decision to take her vows as a Sister of Notre Dame, her work in the church, and how we might be able to navigate where our values differ from church doctrine and teachings.

Whose Father? Our Father.

This week we watched a 6 part series on Formed.Org all about the Our Father. The Our Father: A Short Course with Dr. Ben Akers was a 3.5 hour seminar, breaking the original Catholic/Christian prayer into bite-sized pieces to better understand the full meaning and intent.
Amanda gets us off the rails talking about Eucharistic Miracles, and Sara talks about David Koresh as a sympathetic character. The Taylor Kitsch version, that is.
