My big girls (13 and 12) would like to write a guest post and ask you to submit a question you would like them to answer.
Their post will be entitled "Being a Catholic Priest's Kid"
Feel free to write your question for them in the comment box below or email me at remnantofremnant@gmail.com
How has being a Catholic Priest's kid affected/influenced your relationship with God?
ReplyDeleteA very close friend is the son of a Dutch Reformed Church minister (a very conservative Calvinist) in a small Dutch community in a small city. He recalls that growing up, the family had to hide the packs of cards they were playing with whenever a member of the congregation visited. Also that they were watched regularly by the congregation, and their father was criticised for their behaviour.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the girls also feel the same sorts of expectation...
