<transcy>The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert (Les pensées secrètes d'une convertie insolite)</transcy>
Presentation
At the age of twenty-eight, I openly declared myself to be a lesbian. I had just completed a doctorate in literature and cultural studies. Universities m ’ enlisted to advance radical left ideologies in administration and education. J ’ believed that I ’ was helping to make the world a better place. My interest in the faith was purely intellectual, and I did not ’ intend to change.
I have not asked to convert to Christianity. How could all of this happen to a smart girl like me?
