Last updated on: August 1, 2015 at 8:51 am By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

5 Things Christians Shouldn’t Say to Atheists

Last updated on: July 26, 2015 at 4:44 pm By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I have recently been accused of being more "nice" than truthful. Perhaps you will read these recommendations as an attempt to "play nice" rather than attacking head-on what we may see as problems in society. Read and decide for yourself. Read more

Sr. Helena Burns Reviews: Self/less

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 2:47 pm By Guest Contributor

Last updated on: July 14, 2015 at 9:16 pm By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

5 Tips: When Friends and Family Disagree on Gay Marriage

Last updated on: July 12, 2015 at 9:16 pm By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I was an ardent gay rights and same-sex marriage supporter when I was an atheist.
