Description

Paul Clark visits Witness contributor Sister Ann McDaid from the Loreto Order, who has selected a couple of her favourite clips and explains why they resonated with her.

First choice is Marie Martin, who from the walls of Derry speaks of the Saint Columba, the patron saint of Derry. He was a man of two traditions and evangelicalisd much of Scotland and the North of England. St. Columba also founded the important Abbey on Iona, McDaid's next selection Robin Ruddock completes an annual boat trip, where him and several others row to Iona, this journey helps him reflect on the Saints own journey.

Next, is Maeve Campbell who asks the question if whether or not families who are reunited after long periods of separation live in harmony? She reflects on her own recent gathering of "divided sisters" who found the experiences tangible and emotional. 

Other contributors include Sean McMahon and Rev. Mark McConnell.
