A Nun in Siberia

From Daughter of Red Army General Credits Father for Vocational Decision:
- "Together with two Polish nuns, Sister Teresa spends four days a week helping street children, prisoners and the sick whom she visits either in the hospital or at home.
"Sister Teresa highlighted two difficulties of pastoral work. The first is the extreme material poverty in which the people she helps live, which is a challenge for people's faith and intelligence. According to the sister, she can no longer give away new clothes and toys because “their parents resell them to buy vodka."
"A second difficulty she encounters in her apostolate is the intense activity of South Korean and U.S. protestant movements." (my emphasis)
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
