Rev Dianne Willman-Prosecutor and priest.

Episode 79,   Aug 14, 2019, 01:00 PM

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.
