Religious Superiors Abusing Their Authority
Religious Superiors Abusing Their Authority
By Christina M. Sorrentino
"The main question is not "How can we hide our wounds?" so we don't have to be embarrassed, but "How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?" When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers." (Henri Nouwen)

‘The Wall' ... a story from the underground church in China

Writing Demands Humility
Writing Demands Humility
By Christina M. Sorrentino

Choose Fill Yourself with Goodness
Choose Fill Yourself with Goodness
By Caroline Godin
After I had my third child, I started to notice that certain foods didn’t agree with me. Fast forward three years and now I have a laundry list of foods I can’t eat. For someone like me who loves to bake and eat (and I love to eat!), this isn’t too convenient. I can still eat bacon and most chocolate, so I’ll survive. I certainly had a lot of adjusting to do but I’ve managed to substitute almost e
