Gabriela Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) That's a great video. I love how they addressed questions that a lot of "real people" (i.e., non-nuns) ask about religious life, and they did it very directly, with no hesitation or beating around the bush. They were very honest and frank—very real. I also love the way their scapulars hang over all their other clothes. Best-looking Carmelite habit I've ever seen! And I could listen to that delightful accent all day! EDIT: Also love that they used three very "unlikely" women: The hippy, the aspiring mother of a large family, the daughter of a pastor—but all of them converts. Seriously, all vocations videos should be this well thought out and executed! Edited July 3, 2016 by Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think that may partially be why it's so good. If you're too "insider", it can be hard to understand the audience you're targeting, and to adapt your message to them. But that speaks well of the sisters, that they managed to communicate well with a secular media company, and took the media company's advice in their own on-screen communications.
