This is a work of a British woman who entered, then left a convent. In her subsequent life in the "secular" world, she rejects religion only to gradually drift back to it. Her new concept of religion however is far different from her convent days. It's not BELIEF in a body of dogma, but rather ACTION - living the Golden Rule...treat others only as you would treat yourself. Doctrine is not important, compassion is.
She is also the author of "A History of God".
