Ask Sister podcast is a live podcast where you have the opportunity to engage with us and ask questions about nuns, prayer, religious life, or pretty much anything in between!
Here are some of the topics we address in this Ask Sister podcast:
- I want to go on retreat. Where would I go and what should I expect?
- Could you talk about what detachment from material things means? I’m thinking about religious life, and I’m scared about giving up my things especially my gadgets!
- Another novelist contacts the nuns! The author wants to authentically portray a modern-day nun for her sitcom-esque story. Help the nuns in their advice for the story.

There are Anglican Sisters and nuns. I’m not sure how many, and I don’t know if there are any in South Africa, but they do exist. I think that some communities were re-established as part of the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement of the 19th Century. (John Henry Newman was part of this before he was received into the Roman Catholic church.)
The Society of St. Margaret has a convent in my neighborhood, so I have seen some, live and in person!
