Now in my old age I offer the fruits of my experience in “Omega God”. I hope that it may encourage further exploration.I was born in 1900 into a Methodist family. My father was headmaster of a boys junior school. I went to an Anglican school and for the time before Oxford Entrance lived in a boys school where my uncle was headmaster. I studied philosophy (& politics & economics) at St Anne's where my tutor was Iris Murdoch. While at Oxford I did a variety of temporary jobs to extend my experience of life and afterwards did a statistical job in hospital consultancy. Then I taught English in Finland and in an Italian Convent. Although I had originally felt that because I had a vocation I should be celibate my mother pointed out that a vocation can be equally lived out in marriage.I later married and had four children, two boys and two girls. My husband was a diplomat and this gave me the opportunity to learn about other cultures and to have friends from other faiths. Since retirement I have been part of retreats which enabled an exploration of life experience and recently have been attending a United Church in Dorchester (UK)"visualizza meno
