It has been a busy season at the Collegeville Institute: we welcomed new Resident Scholars, hosted an interfaith panel on vocation, and held our fall board meeting. Many of you have been busy as well, crafting compelling articles on the life of faith and writing.
Here are links to our favorite articles and essays by Collegeville-affiliated writers this fall.
1. "At some point I misplaced my purity ring--and later, my virginity." - Katherine Willis Pershey (Summers 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015).
2. Cara Strickland (Summer 2015) wrote about the bleak future of food criticism for Salon.
3. Rachel Marie Stone (Summer 2015) on bringing her cat to church.
