From boyfriends to the sisterhood – Sr Ann Turner

Contemplative life in Notting Hill – Sr Susan Thompson

This week I got the rare opportunity to be invited into a Carmelite monastery in Notting Hill, London. I hope you enjoy listening to Sr Susan who explains what her unusual lifestyle is like, from Tesco deliveries to truly knowing that it was the Carmelite Order which was the right fit for her. You can watch the 'No Greater Love' documentary referenced here [https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Greater-Love-Michael-Whyte/dp/B00FAJHJKK/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1F5KT5ET3WR25&keywords=no+greater+love+carmelite&qid=1683819712&s=books&sprefix=no+greater+love+carmelite%2Cstripbooks%2C53&sr=1-2-catcorr].

From boyfriends to the sisterhood – Sr Ann Turner

This week, the podcast took me locally to Brixton where I had the pleasure of meeting Sr Ann Turner. From growing up in Liverpool to being inspired by the sisters she met in her youth, she has devoted her life to being a nun and working in the community. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
