The Crone of Temple, Texas

“The Crone of Temple, Texas,” is a podcast featuring Barbara Wendland, an 88 year old woman who helped pioneer progressive Christianity, calling the church to examine its outdated practices and beliefs. The church needs to change. That didn’t become apparent to Barbara until midlife. Since then, however, it has steadily kept becoming more and more apparent to her. If God is trying to get the church to change, it shouldn’t surprise us. Throughout history, however, the people who have most adamantly refused to make the changes God wanted have been the most religious people.
