Last week I volunteered at Sojourner Place in Seattle, a transitional home for women who’ve left bad situations and have set out on a bright new path. It was a humbling experience assisting other volunteers with the prep, serving, and clean up of a meal for the eleven women that reside there. Even more cause for personal reflection was the conversation we had with the house leader, nun by the name of K.C. Young.

Though they may never realize it, the Christ-Con’s sole saving grace is their failure to rebuild the bulwark of 1950′s Christian America.
