  • April Ajoy

    I loved this interview and have no doubt that Ms. Ajoy’s confidence in her beliefs will open some hearts and minds to the dangers of what has become idol worship masquerading as some kind of “National Christianity.” Thank you for being voices of reason and reality against a sea of superstition and blind allegiances.
