Seventeen Minus Two

By: Virginia Phlieger-Kroos

Many people ask why a 14 year old child would enter a convent and even more ask why she would leave. In Seventeen Minus Two I answer these questions. This book relates not only life in this particular convent in the 50s and 60s but the difficulty of the author to reenter a world she was totally unprepared to meet. Short stories of several of her classmates are imbedded in the book. Two of them have died; one from natural causes, one was murdered. The book tells of a child who experienced abuse and her struggle to overcome her feelings of inferiority as well as a lifelong battle with depression. All her life her main desire was to work within and serve the Church. She continually came up against the authority figures in the Church who disregarded her as a person and devalued what she had to offer.

Anglican Dominicans

An Introduction for Seekers and the Curious

By: Kevin Goodrich,Kevin Goodrich O P a

Anglican Dominicans: An Introduction for Seekers and the Curious offers the reader an opportunity to explore a fascinating new form of religious life, which mixes together ancient monastic commitments, internet communication, and a zeal for spreading the message of the Gospel. Traditional orders of monks and nuns have existed for thousands of years, but the Anglican Order of Preachers embraces men and women, married and single, ordained and lay, from across the world. "Informative is not a sufficient word for the scope of this work. It is informative, but it is more, it is invitational -- that is, it invites one to learn, know, discern, and possibly relate to the Dominican way of being spiritual. He shows significantly that spirituality is more than doing things a certain way, it is being spiritual in a certain way." - The Very Reverend Doctor Jeffery Mackey, O.P. Founder of the Anglican Order of Preachers
