Voices From Sa

Dianne Willman has worked for the National Prosecuting Authority for twenty years. She is also a Catholic priest. Being neither religious nor particularity spiritual this episode was a bit of a departure for me. I have always been intrigued as to why somebody would believe in a God, and also interested in the role of the church as a source of comfort to an individual on the one hand, and an institution of conservatism and oppression on the other. Dianne and I talked about faith, her calling to the priesthood, her community and wanting to create a "better" church.  We also discussed her work at the Asset Forfeiture Unit including training of similar units in countries across the continent.
