Overview:

Account of an interview describing the conversion experience and short analysis comparing it to others.

Content:

The conversion account of Frances reminds us that conversion is a multifaceted process, in her case it happens over decades, in multiple countries and languages, and involves a whole host of disparate, uncoordinated elements from children’s literature, to drawings, to architecture, to relationships. How these things fit together we can only guess. Perhaps it is, in the end, just coincidence, or what perhaps is
it what Frances called it: the economy of the secret world of God.
