[Faith-Talk] New Here

Hello, I'm new to this list. I have been away from NFB for a while but
will be coming to the National Convention this year.
I recently finished my doctorate in political science and study
American religious groups in politics.

When I was in NFB in the 2000s, I was agnostic but ended up converting
to Christianity and then Catholicism.

Can anyone summarize what the Communities of Faith division has been
up to recently?

Is anyone else on this list Catholic? By any chance does anyone go to
a Traditional Latin Mass? I've been going for the last few years with
my wife, and actually sing Gregorian chant and polyphony in the choir,
mostly by ear.

Blessings,
Skylar Covich
